Interconnectedness I I saw a passing cloud turn pink And swallow the moon or made me think It did but hid it in plain sight Inside its shining silver lining Until it faded into night But the moon looked brighter there where I Saw it rise to surprise the sky Where the shining stars were aligning II We called each other really silly names Made lots of pots of tea played silly games She won but were fun with names like Uno She always beat me at Scrabble because Of the way I am and the way she was I went for the words and she meant to score But this was a long time ago before And why do I even remember now Who never want to talk about it? But I wonder does she remember or not Though I know I do so now this is how If you have ever been in love you know III I saw a double rainbow the other day It was raining but the sun was shining anyway From end to end spanning the sky like a bridge This design of a hopeful sign this reality As fantastical as any fantasy My camera could not photograph its better half But I knew it was true and it made me laugh Feeling privileged to see it shining on the ridge Then like I knew a secret when it faded away IV The interconnectedness Of all that is in all of us Where we share reality Our common plane of existence When it feels real being me Seeing us then where you are too Freeing being there with you Through pleasure pain and persistence Uncommonly felt now and then Interconnectedness Reminds us of us again Steven Curtis Lance
