Sparks

Touching of souls
On intersecting paths
In the same dimension
In the same time zone
It’s a kinship miracle
And a fortuitous blessing

Think of it
Our light’s not always on
We’re not always home

Connecting is a true
Alignment of forces
On a higher plane
A flicker of magic
Not to be taken for granted

Our lights not always on, how true, in this modern age there are too many technological distractions, we seem to have lost our way in social communication, lives ruled by phones, everyone with bowed heads checking messages and social media. Tom

My newest favorite, Line! This poem wisely and succinctly states a truth about REAL connections in life: They don't occur every day! Janice
