Lines from the Mind

Remembered instants heartbeats of significance, recognition and recall memories shared, thoughts painted in our relationship capturing the moments: we laughed together, paused together, dreamed together, looked at life together through time's eye. These memories make us fully human, alive to the best and worst of who we are. Even as we remember do the memories change? Elusive wisps of clouds morphing into different colours and shapes, changing our thoughts feelings of treasured minutes or painful pasts.

My beard stubble is grey your chin is young smooth but we all look the same to an alien. I'm taller You're shorter but we're both small in front of basketball player towers, and never ending space. I like touch rugby, thinking about God, my gorgeous wife and children, opening my eyes to new things and a thousand other likes, Your thousand passions are as different as sand grains, but we both have tastes. I hate graffiti the civil war in that country Not being able to connect with others, Your hates are as different to mine as snow flake patterns. If everyone was the same our colour would be grey and if nobody understood differences our colour would be black Can we be rainbows?
