Day Twelve (prompt) - Gather Round

Light the candles

Get the guitar

pour some more wine

we can’t go very far

The lights are gone,

The stars shine bright

The only power here

Is our friendship tonight

This once a year gathering

To catch up with friends

And the wind knocked the fuses

But the merriment won’t end

Let’s sing the songs

We once all knew

Forget the words

For a moment or two

Remember instead

The feelings so strong

When the music was playing

when it was our song

he dated her, and then

she dated his friend,

to get back together,

with the first one again

then he dated her friend,

and round the circle went

there was no escaping

there just was no end

but now we laugh together

and drink to our health

and know that we made it

in spite of ourselves

and as the moonlight shines

through the windows glass

we’ll toast to the future

and drink to the past

and we’ll fall asleep

by the light of that moon

and when morning comes

race to the bathroom.
