I Love Small Boxed Faces

Soupers often engage in emotional ways.
There can be depth in what two might exchange.
When someone leaves our shared Soup domain,
their diminished light is a missed, valued sight.  
Some remarks feel like word-shaped embraces
and time together often leaves valued traces.
Is is not odd, just plain strange, as well as an ache
that Soup relationships are both close and remote?

I have missed your small-boxed faces,
your writes and presence on my pages.

I wonder if other soup pals also ponder 
the restrictions our bonds form under. 

I recall the joys of our hellos and ‘getting to knows’
But ‘byes and why-gone words’ are silent blows.

It must be a new age emotional feeling
      the internet brought into being
            so people everywhere could connect.
                           Dog-gone-it, doesn’t connect
                                     sound inept?
