Westerly Winds

The passions
that divided us
when we were young
Bring us back
together
when old

The bias
the malice
the pain and the hurt
The years
in their wisdom
remold

What once
seemed important
and drove us apart
Transformed
like a westerly
wind

To finish
our days
attached at the hip
Umbilically
joined
— from within
