FINALLY FACE-to-FACE

Heart leaps when the synthesized "Battle Hymn of the Republic" sounds
the doorbell, like a fanfare, heralds a much anticipated reunion
refrain from checking appearance, my social media being honest,
our souls already bared naked by years of unashamed conversation
moth-to-flame mania propels me to my friend

Warmth and light seem to permeate the still shut front door
flooding the entry way when eagerly opened
beauty before me appears undiminished, enhanced by age
kind, stunning blue eyes, radiant smile true to remembrance
naturally we fall into a welcome, desperately needed embrace

Author's Note
Dedicated to a bosom friend whom, until recently, I had not seen in 37 years and yet we have been close via messaging for some 14 of those years. The below link leads to a poem written about her as well, https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/343708-graduation-day/
