coming home

I could sense
the enchantment

long before I left home

dinner with the gang
felt like it always did

time never moved so quickly
back in the days of Northwest

old faces
with new expressions
marriages
babies
divorces

haircuts

so far removed
from what we left it at
almost felt like 15 years
had breezed by

reunion
with my friends
no, my family

I now know
the mystique that is
homecoming.

and Northwest won!!!
