rows of eager soon-to-be adults
line up in chairs, attentive,
waiting for a stranger
to say their name.
one by one, we walk,
we shake, we smile,
we wave, we sit,
we wait, until the end.
years of friendships,
romances, heart-breaks,
youthful excursions
and adventure - over.
hats were in the air
when i caught myself
staring blankly at the floor,
pondering the meaning of it all
when my friend looked over
said "are you all right?"
as i blinked it all away
and replied, "yeah, i'm fine"
