Friends remembered

You crash into my consciousness like a tidal wave.
Not to be denied.
Slow years of low eddies and hidden currents
Boom! The jolt awakes, lightning flashes!
Silver strands span oceans' breadth...
Land and seas heave and roll, 
reflected in cascading droplets,
to meet in sweet solace,
to sink in the easeful depths
of my remembering.
