We came
We gathered
We stood
In the beginning
It was "us"
It was "them"
We were
Foreigners
Strangers
Gathered
By a common love
Travel
Adventure
Some friends
Others not
Flying by
Big steel birds
Into the unknown
From the familiar
Will we like it?
Them?
Hate it?
Flounder hopelessly?
Triumph greatly?
Then it happened
We met
The mysterious "them"
No fear
Just curiosity
In two weeks' time
"We" and "them"
Became "us"
A team
A group
Undivided
An international
Multi-cultural family
Emotions
Languages
Laughter
Melded into one
Differences
Melted away
Along with
Fear
Uncertainty
Replaced
By wonder
Unleashed
Curiosity
While moving
As one body
Day by day
Through the
Insides of a
Steel plant
Coming close
To things rarely
Seen by outsiders
In awe of operations
Not taking for granted
A single moment
Not the oversized coats
The dirt
The smell
The massive amounts
Of molten lava liquid
Taking a train ride
Past a nuclear power plant
Belching out smoke
A stark reminder
Of how precious life is
Walking inside
A cathedral
Larger, wider
Taller than ever imagined
Following a ghostly
Shape of a boy
Beckoning you to
Come hither
Sitting in a courtroom
Surrounded by
Languages of other places
Swirling all around
Feeling like an astronaut
Looking down at a
Magnificent earth
Being led
Through the halls
Of money
Learning the ins and outs
Of financing 27 country states
Stopping to inhale
History
Wisdom
Knowledge
A group
Of foreigners
Foreign no more
Meshing with residents
Dinner, lunch
Drinks, dancing
Strangers have
Become an extension
Of existence
When it is time
To leave
How do you
Divide the
Undivided?
Parting is such
Sweet sorrow
Goodbye is not forever
Regardless if we are
30 miles away or
3,000
Love, collectiveness
Undivided family
Knows no borders
Distance
Length of passing time
One day
Be it on this
Side of the world
Or that
Our group
Strong
Smiling
Will reunite
Once again
Until then
We smile
At the memories
The photos
Jokes
Experiences
Keep in touch
America/Luxembourg
For it's a small
World after all
