CONVERSATIONS

It’s been so long Since

We’ve been in touch

Catching up on events, so much

Oh how time goes by

So many years

But we’ll try

We laugh, we cry

And time doth fly

The happiness that persists

As we sit and reminisce

Knows no bounds

As the conversation

Goes round

And the radiant energy abounds

Why is it

We wait so long

Not staying in touch

Is so wrong

I begin to glimpse

The inner you

The person I knew

And so many things new

I see your smile

And within

It doth linger awhile

Of the joy it brings

There is no denial

Back and forth

The words doth flow

The conversation

Doth grow

The more of each other

Doth we know

When people share

Of each other

It strengthens

The bonds

One to the other

The fabric of humanity

Is stronger

By you and me

And of reaching beyond

We shall see

Like a web

We are all connected

Through a higher place

We are directed

And with each bond

We are all affected

One by one

It shall be done

Until the whole

Becomes one

-Shiidon, April 2010

I was speaking with a dear friend I knew in China last night. It has been ten years since we have seen each other and several years since we last spoke. It was a wonderful conversation. We miss out on these conversations and we miss out on forming these connections, or bonds, that unite us together. Person by person we connect to each other, make stronger and stronger bonds and eventually, in generations to come, we will become united as one human family. But, it starts here. One to one. The family. The community and on to the nation and the world. It is the work of generations but we are working towards that goal, voluntarily for some and not for others.
