Mark Durant - Barbados 24.11

Give us a go then, he chuckles in cheer
Let me see those juggling balls my dear,
It as been a lifetime since we've seen eachother,
And juggling? It's been about two years.

I saw you on the other train, girl,
A free spirit, I thought, from Thailand perhaps,
You see, I am from Barbados, a different world,
And as I practise my juggle he claps.

Bedreaded beanie, the kindest new soul,
That is born from connections all over,
He is another star child walking this world,
Its how I recognised my rasta brother.

Let us discuss quantum physics my friend,
And the 13th horoscope, that hidden gem,
We talk of djembes, poi and Israel,
The train click clacking along November's rails.

I'll see you again one day, I'm certain,
Whether Tel Aviv, Sydney or Barbadan paradise,
With a flick of the dreads he was off with a nod,
And that salute of peace in the city of lights.
