Fascinating how people swim in our steam.
A beautiful soul recently grooved into mine.
Before you swam along,
I was eager to confide.
Someone to recognize why I am the way I am.
Surviving a parallel pain.
A victorious warrior princess.
Someone like me.
Deciding to re-direct my flow.
Putting my words out in the world.
I stumble upon your poem called “waiting to happen”
Powerful words matching my thinking.
I comment… You reply.
Words united, feeling liberated.
Trusting a stranger, clashing off beat.
An unlikely friendship immediately cultivated.
Admiring your strength and journey.
3000 miles apart, still like-minded harmony.
A sweetheart, I chirp to with indulgence.
You are an unexpected gift in my life.
