People From No Where

Look around, what do you see
Tales of you and I, same old, we
Here or there, now and then
Asking where did it begin
Memories flicker, a hazy hue
Grasping at images, old and new
Some grainy, covered in dust
Remembering, hard but we must
Some glistening on a pedestal
Highlights used for survival
A whole life inside, filed away
Baffled, is that where it will stay
So beautiful, so breathtaking
Love so vivid, so painstaking
Destiny is all, a fate written
A story to be shared, envisioned
Rather by purpose or coincidental
It couldn't be merely sentimental
It's there, a weight of significance
That these lives have made a difference
Legacies to be passed down generations
Character travels through time, vibrations
Chronicles of you and I, same old, we
Will the future look to us and see
People, people from no where
Will they know of all we wished to share
Words we've spoken, words we've wrote down
Could they last, find their way to a new town
A journey through history, on and on it goes
Winding like rivers, moving, ebbs and flows
Reaching someone, anyone from any where
Right when they need us, do we dare
you and I, same old, we, we shared
Just us, two people from no where

I want to take nothing away from each line of beautiful verse by trying to quote them and blah, blah, blah-ing them. Simply note: this was lovely and extraordinary write.
