Something

Have you ever been in

The middle of something

That echoed greatness and

Wonder, but you couldn’t

Put your finger on exactly

What it was, perhaps yet

Another person needed

To complete the moment,

Or was it just the sheer

Energy and excitement

That surrounded everyone

With an euphoria that

Might be empty after

All was said and done,

But something was

Sending shivers down

My neck through my

Spine, spinning pictures

Of hula hoops and sunshine

Cappuccinos and chatter,

Maybe we all met lifetimes

Before and neglected to do

Something that mattered,

Now unknowingly gathered

For one more opportunity

To do something left undone.
