The connections we make

Some shallow and some deep.

The ones we’re born with and the ones we choose.

Weaving a complex web of emotion and knowledge.

Some forgotten and some nurtured.

The connections we make

Can become more than we thought they would.

Taking time and effort.

Meaningful or meaningless.

Some scratching the surface of the expanse below.

The connections we make

Can follow us through our lives.

Meeting someone new at 15.

Forgetting for years until recently.

But now only a shadow of the past.

The connections we make

Or sometime break.

The regret and heartache.

Or the fury.

The separation for the better.

The connections we make

Forever knowing the soul behind the mask.

The roots that go deep.

Though you are nit able to see them from the surface.

A network of emotional webbing.

The connections we make

Soul to soul.

Making the human experience more meaningful.

Companions on the journey.

Our connections.
