hello stranger,
friend and confidante,
sometimes you could be on the other side
far away, beyond my way
and then a word, a line, a song shared
and it all makes sense
these connections, conversations
no one can explain
i've tried. i know
i'm just happy you are here
and sometimes there
in my life, in my world,
in my inbox and smartphone
under the same sun and moon
why should every relationship have a name?
somethings are beyond definition
it's enough that we clicked
over a joke, a picture, imaginary coffee
and shared a minute
of understanding and enlightenment
wisdom and truth
that's all there is to a beautiful life
the way we touch each other's existence
giving meaning to a mundane moment
enriching life and adding color
a kind word, cheering us up unexpectedly
sobering advice that seems just right for me
i am grateful for the solidarity
and empathy and the arguments;
the answers and the questions
the humor and the faith
and just so you know
you will never be alone
somewhere in the shadows
i lurk to bring you a smile
when you least expect it
you would do the same for me
thank you for those many seconds
when life became beautiful
and i could begin to dream again
