I was walking for the train,
my thoughts were of the present.
The happy laughter of passing
school children caught me and changed my day.
Suddenly memories that were denied
by time came back to me.
I could see my old school friends,
we ran together in the mist of
time,laughed and played, climbed trees
and ate crab apples together.
The acidic taste of unripen fruit
blessed me with each morsel of thought.
The train arrived and i watched as they waved
from the platform as i departed,
joining them once again in adulthood.
