collide
by Michele Schottelkorbtwo souls collide
in the wake of explosion
bruised and beaten
ego and all
they stood up
shook off the soot
straightened their hearts
and saw:
the truth behind the lies
sincerity of the mind
common goals of the spirit
and likeness of the body
into the eye
and arrow shot
and linked the two
it has been awhile so glad to find you04/02/2004 Author's Note: this is for a dear friend of mine... who i just met (in the terms of "real" friendship)... bonded for years (13, in fact) through a mutual friend who is no longer... we are kind of like two halves of a whole... for you, Sissy

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/11/04 at 01:21 AM I love the word 'collide,' and so apropo, for in some cicrumstances when two people meet, that's certainly the right word, where systems, customs, histories, mix and match, and even mismatch. |
