Families

Families

As diamonds shimmering
Upon deep midnight velvet,
So the stars sprinkled
Across the sky shine
With a glittering beauty,
Their light traveling through time,
Seen thousands of light years
In difference from actuality...

The moon hung in the sky,
An ever-changing, ever
Evolving painting by God's hand
Revolves at a different pace
From the planet who's tides
Ebb and flow in tune
To its waxing and waning...

The dance of communication
Twining us all together
Like a quilt by thread
Binds us to one another
Intricately, enmeshes us
One with the other
Until deep patterns form
And relationships establish...

Intimacies created
Through time, space,
Through communication...
Threaded together,
Yet distinct enough
For love to form, to alter,
To draw together
Groups and twos...
Families given and of choice...
