An unlikely Group

An unlikely group gathered in support and friendship

Comrades in fun for a short time

Their smiling demeanour denying the blank existence

Of their lives

Problems put aside

Left outside the door

Or shared

A time apart

Where laughter is the centre of the universe

And fear is refused entry

Soon, this unlikely group

Will start the short journey back

Back to the stark reality of life

Laughter and fun will be carefully put aside

Until the next time.
