This is a rewrite of a poem that is titled, World of Connected Souls, first published in my second book, My Angel, My Muse.

☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯

“Come away with me,”
I said.
Your shoulders slumped,
you turned your head.
Like a reluctant witness.
“Come away,
anywhere with you will be home.”
No more days alone.
Wondering where you went, how far.

This was composed spontaneously as a comment to a post from my friend Marie from WritingWingsforYou.com.

In the post she asked what one would say if they sat down with her for coffee and the following presented itself to me.
