Time has pleats.
While years may stretch them out.
They enfold when old friends
meet after years,
touching as if only
hours have passed.

Shawn L. Bird 
Poetry is life’s sonnets
Sung in tunes of the beating heart
Through pleating words of wisdom
Into a lace of pearls
Every kind of poetry
May be romantic; idealistic; realistic
Thus;
Very nice.

Reblogged this on Beatnik Flop and commented:
What a great metaphor for the phenomena of when two really great friends can meet after years – decades even – and pick up where they left off as if the long absence never existed.
Thank you.
Literally hugged my computer just now.
Ahh! What a sweet image!
[…] but so much remains the same whenever you meet old friends, doesn’t it? (It’s that ‘time has pleats’ thing […]
Wow Shawn! Short and sweet. I loved it!
Thanks Vashti. I am particularly fond of short and sweet. 😉 (or short and impactful, which is really what I’m going for!) lol
