Communication

Communicaion We let the silence stand between us Too long. Its shadow hid our thoughts; Then we remembered those jewels of our lives, Our friends - We spoke to one another then; The rime of ice around our hearts Cracked and fell away And we saw one another in clear light again. We searched across the gaps; The Misunderstandings, striving to be something greater Than the sum of our differences Shut our predjudices out To let sympathy in; Then we were noble. Then we felt the strength In the midst of our fragility.
