Connections

what are they?

Connections, connections, what are they?

Between our eyes? Between our days?

What about our shared haze?

Are we on the same page?

Mutual interests? Mutual needs?

Mutual hungers for eternities?

Common ground? Common sound?

Same God? Same sin?

Mutual questions? Mutual fears?

Shared hurts? Shared blurts?

Shared pasts? Shared lasts?

Funny moments? Sharing laughs?

Hearing music? Choosing it?

Buying mine? Sharing yours?

Caring? Tearing?

Faring... same waters

but different boats?

Where is the anchor?

Where is the shore?

Do we get there

together?

P.S. there are certain formatting styles I used in this poem that don't translate well into this platform for some reason - at least, I haven't figured out how to input the text in such a way. So this poem visually isn't quite how I want to present it but it's pretty close. Thank you for reading!! :)
