Interconnected

Family is a macro organism
We're all interconnected
We're all a piece of the puzzle
The mosaic
We are the pattern
We create order in our minds as well as disorder
We share our memories and love 
We create new webs of association
We create the circles and cycles of our life
We bond like molecules to one another
We bridge gaps and create new pathways to each other
We create new circuits of love each day
We are a factory, we all labor together
We are the think tanks, we bridge ideas together
We borrow words and songs from others
We create our own inspiration, we create what our minds think about
We dream, we love, we feel, we are
We live to create a better tomorrow
A better us
We try to top our last move, our last performance
We challenge who we once were
We look to the future, working to get there in the present time
We search for meaningful conversation, a meaningful life
We create this meaning with our actions
How loud do our actions speak amongst our silence
Will the words come when we need them?
Will we say what we need to say?
or will silence take over?
Will we emerge like when we reach the end?
Where will our journey take us?
An unanswered question left for a later time
What new questions will we ask?
What new answers will we find?
What will be gained? Learned?
How will it transform us?  What will we become?
What new shape will we take?
What will our renewed minds and hearts look like?
What will it feel like?
Will there be a sense of relief when we discover who we are meant to be?
Will it be obvious?
When we know we ran as far as we could?
When we pushed harder than we ever though possible?
When we've said so much, there's nothing left to say
When we're all out of ideas
In awe of what is, in awe of what is and can be
When hope speaks its spontaneous voice in our ears, minds, souls, and hearts
Will we recognize it when it comes and let its voice be heard
Its calling out to us, just follow where it leads
The voice is getting louder gradually and then suddenly
Like a thumping heart beat
Decipher what the voice says, how it speaks to us
What we're supposed to understand
