Particles meet and coalesce
Binding together with relentless determination to exist
And I am awake
And I am aware
Set adrift into the world rudderless
Full of hope of curiosity of fear
Choice, destiny, skill, luck
When I met another traveler on the road
For years I traveled alone, now no longer
I shared my joy my apprehension my awe
The growth of new leaves
The weariness of repetition
The warmth of the summer sun
The pain of loss and regret
When our differences were as numerous as the Stars
How did this come to be old friend?
That we would journey hand in hand
Into the void that we do not know.
