So here we are
In a fashion

What at last
Shall we talk about
Without each other’s voices
The long gaze a certain smile

Shall we prattle on like old
Grown shallow acquaintances
Make lists of how we’ve changed
Exchange recipes for killing time

No burning bush atop a mountain
Symbols subtle metaphors
A special place or star in our evening sky

Oh once all in all
The blank screen seems a wiser silence

Somewhere still beside a sea
If left safe apart from what now we are
A candle shines

Very well expressed, John. I agree with your thoughts.

Fine writing...the rapid decline of Facebook stock brought me further away from Facebook...the founder seems to be a greedy stock manipulator....James

Good write, my friend.
