People speak to me in text and voice,
words and phrases, jokes and verse.
Words may uncover a subliminal choice
by humor, irony, or sarcasm most terse.

Pictures painted of one small life
become crisp visions into a human heart,
muddled moments of anxst and strife
are at the epicenter of why we start,
to notice, to care, to read between
the lines and laughter and silent pauses.
We connect with dreams, and sometimes glean,
the hopes and the fears and the causes,
for our common presence, and common love.
Our interests, talents, vices, and sins,
are noted, discussed, and exaggerated,
in a medium whereby souls dare rise above,
telephone wires, and cable box bins.
Around the globe, all of mankind has elaborated,
on current issues, science and philosophy
and every conversation has perpetuated
your individual importance to me.
Be it once said lest it be said never
your place in my heart remains forever.
