Connections

Now you see me now you don’t



I let you gaze into my soul


For one brief second then I won’t


And in return I catch a brief glimpse of the real you






We choose the ones we let behind the façade


Of our true selves and share a knowing glance


For one brief moment let down our guard


And let our eyes speak a thousand words






Then once we’ve made a firm connection


We no longer need play at ‘peek-a-boo’


The shutters come down and true feelings


Can be revealed and then shine through






We give and take in equal parts


One day we give the next receive


Fulfilling bodies, souls and hearts


And satisfying all desires and needs






With child-like trust without a word


We take the hands of fellow men


And stride the earth now self-assured


As we share our strengths and face our fears






But take time apart and find a quiet place


To make yet another important connection


Focus within yourself and your own space


Use these precious moments for inner-reflection
