Connections

There’s electricity in the air,
Roamin’ around like it just don’t care.
There’s a silence mixed In too,
A hum to connect
Me to you.
There’s a buzzin’
Deep inside
Between friends
Open wide.
A bopin’
Huggin’ smooshes lolly popin’
Gigglin, yet
Workin’ it through.
Still stuff to do, stuff to do.
There’s a feeling jumpin’
Around the yard
Thumpin’ quite out loud.
No musical rhymes,
Just a sliver
Of sublime.
Where friendship finds a place
To rest weary heads
That can erase
The pain of day.
There’s a lightness
In these words,
A melody still unheard.
Some may think
Connections are great
And fearless.
It’s only nearness
That makes the pull
So fine.
It shakes awake
All depressed doubts.
So much work
Yet to be finished.
All unhappiness, diminished.
There’s a sweetness
In my soul,
A dimming of the lights.
A swish, a speed, a leap to take flight.
Soaring quite above the trees,
It seems
To never find its way.
But near, with love
My friends are here,
They’re here, they’re here,
They’re here to stay.
