Meeting of two separate minds
Two unknowns
Two endless possibilities
Brought together by Chance
By fickle Fate
Like the spider’s web
Woven by unseen hands
By the turning of the earth
somehow they connect
In this sea of minds
Not giving it a second thought
Until they discover
Starting with one brief
moment
Of contact
Similarities of thought
Interests shared
Experiences similar bringing
Amazing attraction
The sharing of thought
Expanding both minds
Sometimes continuing
On to eternity
Other times ending in ugliness
Breaking off from each other
With harsh words
And damaged emotions
Finding they can’t unite
Can’t find the link
Connection lost
That they once shared
the mourning of its loss
Can last for moments
Or a lifetime
Sometimes they discover nothing at all
And pass without comment
Never realizing
Never discovering
What might have been
