gatherings, reunions
are like seminars
or, genealogy by the bars
uncomfortable truths
jarring jokes
targeting your own folks
evidence of lineage
through twisted pasts
and sparsely sketched hearts
quiet conversations
about dignity and mind
mending and stitching, to keep entwined
growing up and into
unblemished landmarks
laughter full of sparks
drinking to amends
finding heroes again
sentiments shared, relationships explained
Reunions occur, with present minds
hearts that remember and share
stories that inspire and prepare
Letting go and letting in
together like clouds, yet aloof
Reminiscence enables a rebirth of roots
Kashiana 
Reminiscence enables rebirth of roots and hearts that remember and share–
Profound thoughts indeed –expressed beutifully
The poet in the same breath has also mentioned the trivalities like jarring jokes and driking to amends that arec indulged in such seminars and get-togethers
This poem is brilliant kaleidoscopic version of reunions and gatherings
Very well written congrats
Papa
