Stream of Words
It all begins with Hello.
How are you? Fine. Yourself?
What draws us to start a conversation in
a stream of words on a screen?
Another chance meeting
and the conversation picks up
Touches lightly on a range of subjects in
a stream of words on a screen.
Time moves along, and
the conversations continue
to delve deeper into one another in
a stream of words on a screen.
She asks questions about his theories
he continually challenges her way of thinking
she worries: does he think her thoughts too simple in
a stream of words on a screen?
Delving deeper into hopes, dreams, plans
she shares, he suggests and advises,
respect and gratitude begin to arise in
a stream of words on a screen.
Confidence and trust grow
like a desert flower blossoming
Can her dreams happen if she uses his advice in
a stream of words on a screen?
Weeks turn into months into years
her biggest dream becomes real;
hard work and good advice pays off from
a stream of words on a screen.
He's far away, and she's alone.
Casual conversations now have more depth
How can her heart be so wrapped up in
a stream of words on a screen?
Her body lonely for more, a shy attempt
at a local date begins well; but her mind wanders
and compares; wishes she was having a conversation in
a stream of words on a screen.
Other conversations are constantly compared
to her conversations with him; and fall short.
What is it that draws her heart inexplicably to
a stream of words on a screen?
Nary a day goes by without a conversation,
a memo, a note; and of course, virtual hugs!
Hello. How are you? Fine. Yourself? in
a stream of words on a screen.
There's no way to predict the
outcome of this virtual relationship
could anything ever replace this
stream of words on a screen?
I turn on my computer; log on.
Busy with my usual web pages, I wait.
Anticipating that moment when we continue
a stream of words on a screen.
The moment he logs on, my computer sings,
my heart soars, joyous to begin again....
there he is now!!! so I'm ending this
stream of words on a screen.
