Parallelograms

You are my friend, as surely

as any who have come before… or since.

We arrive from different places,

tied by a common thread

of like-minded interests

bound through words,

our strengths woven

by home and family,

the places we’ve been,

and all we have known.

We share a penchant for curiosity—

the need to read, to learn;

to feed our imagination

on this perpetual path

to becoming more than the

sum of our whole.

Our views are formed through

our own unique perspective:

while some see only black and white

we view this world in shades of gray

discerning details some will never see.

We are collectors of words:

quotes and lines that define our existence

on this earthly ship we call home.

We share intuitive understanding

as each one of us subscribes

to our own unique role.

And we are better on this journey

in knowing there are others

that are searching for the meaning,

the truth that still lies waiting
on this sojourn of the soul.
