Hot summer days on friendship beach,
Sandy sunny belonging
in unquestioned brotherhood.
Brown bodies on sweaty bunks,
sheets of discovery
uncovering unbounded life.
Comrades on mountain peaks,
euphoric blistered steps
deepening tribal togetherness.
Cycles pedaling city streets,
ridden rhythmic life
of unconscious sleepfulness.
Ah, that boyhood stretch,
Sun-kissed, wild-blessed
naïve-blood-brotherly-time
in which we learned of life;
that love takes and love gives
and how we love, is how we live.
