GOLDEN THREAD
A golden thread binds our hearts
across the many miles
that separate us.
A bond strong as iron
yet as flexible as silk,
connecting us in ways
unimaginable to the many
poor wretched lonely souls
that only dream of such joy.
I despair for them
for once I was as they are,
lonely, sad, angry
at life for being so cruel.
But no more, my days are filled
with the laughter and joy
that can come only from this
precious connection
we share
you and I.
