The Overseas Connection by Anne EngelenHave you ever noticed that string
across the ocean connecting hearts and souls?
Its abilities are endless
always within reach
Waiting to be called upon
Ready for a siege
This colourful thread
connects your soul with mine
Its colours change often
but always stay divine
Dark colours putting you or me low
You pull...I tug
You tug...I pull
And mysteriously our string will glow
Changing colours just like our mood
When talking to you bad changes into good
Listen carefully...
It also carries sound
Revealing the way you feel
is only part of the deal
Around the world this thread just goes
Connecting hearts, connecting souls
Yours and mine are already tuned in
On this overseas connection string
Which holds unconditional love within

Posted by Mara Meade on 11/07/02 at 04:28 PM Anne, its so interesting how we percieve the messages in poetry. I lived overseas for most of my childhood and this captured so much of the feelings I had, and still have, of my youth... how miles and time zones and oceans and continents have no bearing on true friendships... marvelous poem and sentiment! |
