Kindred Spirits

Memories and Wondering

For far too long a time

All your substance yielded

Was the subsistence 

For my mind

Two separate lives living

Across finite time and space

Reading past treasured words

Scribed blue ink giving chase

To memories and dreams

Of summer night's 

Innocence of things

That bring smiles to light

Now words born in the mind

Coming fast with the speed of light

Carrying time and distance

Guarded reservation's resistance

Destroyed by kinship of sight

They fall on eyes and land in thought

And heart leaps with memories

That run uncaught

At the sound of an unheard voice

And it's familiar refrain

Hundreds of miles

A lifetime of years

A thousand faded smiles

A million drying tears

Could not, have not

Untied the bonds that 

Hold the most Kindred of Spirits
