How can it be
That I can call him friend
When, as yet, we have never met?

How can he see
All the good that is in my heart
When we both stay, firmly, miles appart?

How does he know
That I long to unleash the artist inside
And spread my word to those who barely listen?

Am I that transparent in thought,
Or is he the REAL artist?

Or maybe there just is a connection from the past....(lives)that is....soul-mates and such.  Or maybe he is just an artist....but which ever it is there is always those things that take a lifetime to learn and those are the things that make it all so very special...so NO you are not transparent at all.  Wonderful read.

This is something I experienced also. It's amazing when you meet someone and there's a connection that you can't explain even though you've never met. He knew me inside out even though we had never met. Sometimes it's possible that they're artist but sometimes just as Mark said in his response, it could be that it's there because of reasons we don't know, like soulmates. I speak in past tense when I say we had never met because I eventually ended up meeting him, and NO you're not trasparent at all. Hope all goes well for you. Great read. Thanks!

Mark:

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I am glad you enjoyed this short piece so much.

And yes.....he actually IS an artist, but more than that he is becomming a very good friend!

This is lovely English Rose ... extraordinary questions, and yet sometimes it matters not the how or the why, just simply that this wonderful connection exists. I found this thought-provoking and beautifully expressed, well done!  

Best wishes,
/Kit
