Words for Alex

Followed is a piece I wrote after having been touched by Alex's (from El Salvador) writing.

--------

Unison

The harp that is the world
plays many tunes
in its many strings.
Some strings resonate
and some vibrate
in creation's bliss in living.

A discordant symphony,
a grand aria
all this blissful noise is!
Each note in each movement
is a poem and a dream unto itself.

Some rare moments though
strings far apart
on the harp that is the world
reverberates, in unison,
of a happy song.

You and I,
far apart,
strings we are,
create these rare dreams,
these rare songs,
together, without knowing.
