Connected

With the stresses of holiday life gone by
and the tasks we had at hand fulfilled,
words have been a bit more frequent
to me and for me.

Let me know whatcha think of this guy ...

Connected
by Lyn Marinello

We were literally once connected
Providing sustenance for soul and heart
Two completely separate entities
Uniquely bound while we're apart
There was tremendous growth
Both literal and symbolic
Occasional mayhem and chaos
Mostly peaceful and bucolic
An underlying intuition
Thoughts conveyed with only eyes
Anguish, anger, joy and tales
Unconditional compromise
Tethered by more than umbilical
And the proverbial apron strings
A bond of strength indefinable
A constant current beneath one's wings
An unfathomable depth of caring
An eternal protective force
Unbreakable faith and vigilance
An external internal source
The link is sometimes frayed
Or tied in impossible knots
You may even think it severed
When embroiled in worrisome spots
But distance cannot muffle
What exists beyond this realm
We've got a co-pilot always
When standing frazzled at the helm
That channel is forever
Sometimes dulled, but not depleted
Only strengthened in expansion
Enhanced when it's repeated
