Scattered

Once closely caught up in each other
The group at distance fondly wonder
What each member now is thinking,
All together separate. Linking
Only through a webbed wide world
That so miraculously unfurled
To serve, to mend the gaps which grew
Through time and space, and start anew.

Seeking out the wandering host
To join once more; to laugh, to boast.
Share images of recollection
Plus proud parental snapped affection
Prove we could grow up. Who thought
Shadows could slip away uncaught?
But lives which went in parallel
Now converge again and swell.

Globe is girdled in an instant.
"Is that you? No! It isn't!"
"Oh yes it is! Well OMG!"
From homeland to antipode.
She cracks a joke. They drop a line.
“Saw Such-a-one today. Looked fine”
Warm remembered clicks and clinches
Mixed with future hopes and wishes.

Standing, sitting, fingers weaving
Feeding truth, dreamers believing.
As messages go out through ether,
Calling back yet urging further.
Here all moments captured show
What we want those gone to know.
Sharing out our troves and treasure
Before all goes beyond all measure.

The seeds of grain once castaway
On winds of friendship swoop and sway.
As solo motes that swirl as one,
A flock of folk dance in the sun
To glint and shine like dusted gold.
So as we shift and life unfold
Let change not hinder us, nor matter
But fly together as we scatter...
