Description
Connections are what makes things happen
At least, they show us what -has- happened

Time and again, we spend life swinging the lantern of our soul before us
Risking fear dousing more than just illumination, and for what?
What worth convinces us to reveal all of our selves to potential pain?

The worth of Connections

Defining itself by what it is not, humanity would seem on the face of it
Devoid of reason to risk self for others

But fear not, doubters and scoffers, the search for and enjoyment of Connections
Is an act of singular selfishness and I coming first

A Connection, established is as familiar as a memory, as easy to feel as a talent
Who we are to the other softly glowing lantern lights is how we are to us

The proximity of those lights closes as the Connection is realized, the link admitted
Shade retreats to the twin glow that combines as one shines in another's radiance

So it's true, we use others to define our own lights...of course..
Their light defies the Myst along with ours, and without it, we'd not know our own

The closer those lights, the more intense the aggregate Connection
Shy not from those loose and easy connections, light against light in passing

But so too, in revelation of self, shy not from the most intense Connections
Those Connections believed to have already existed

Truly, the brightest lights pulse with a warmth that seemed to exist before
But not seeing before doesn't mean one can't see now

Accept the pulsing radiance of the closest, nearest connections
We banish that which we are not into the joyous past

The the gate of relationships, a path of Beings..and their Links
