Through my Window I See the World

Miles are but dirt-fraught inches on earth’s cusp

Our neighborhood in not restrained by such

With one click of a key a door unlocks

And instantaneously our smiles touch…

Technology has closed the sprawling gap

Of distance; you are one mouse-click away

And far across the world I hear you clap

We share the joy that smiles on us today

Or then perhaps, I feel you shed a tear

And we unite; across mountains and seas

Our close-knit neighborhood spanning earth’s sphere

Shares life's love; its hope and agonies

Miles are but dust-shaped inches on the land

There are no gates or walls in cyber-space

With one click of the key I hold your hand

You reach across the air in love’s embrace

This morning I was ‘touched’ with loving words from so many friends in our neighborhood. India, Nova Scotia, Sejer Island, just to name a few…Hi Andrea .
