no insignificance in crossing paths

our lives are quite different
one from the other
perhaps far more
than i possibly know

it may be
we will never be more
than we once were
and in fact may become
ever less than we are now

yet
in the time we shared
in what we exchanged
part of you
merged into part of me
and i am forever touched
by your passing

for all who come to read me
see me or know me
there will forever be
part of you
in my being

that reminds me telling someone that my soul has become grey as his white has merged into my black.

Wonderful. Sentimental and profound at the same time. It is a subtle kind of ecstasy, reading this quality of work.

Beautiful sentiment. (It's now the end of June and I came by to see if you had posted anything new. I'm enjoying reading your archives!)
