Parallel lives:
A matter of chance
And time and space
Of course
That I stand here
And you, there
Never intersecting
Never meeting
On some distant horizon
In some distant future
I have to remind myself
To notice you.
But look at us:
I could be you
And you, me
So close, so alike
So alone
It is a matter of chance
It is all the same
I am you,
You are me

Fantastic picture, words and music Sandy... as always I leave here feeling better for my visit.
ReplyDeleteLovely Sanday.
ReplyDeleteDid you write the poem?
Looking up as you did to caprture this moment and then the words to go along with it.....great Sky Watch Friday picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. My third take on the birch trees this week. The bright sky was our first sign of spring, and I couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteEllen, the poem is mine, yes.
Maybe parallel worlds?
ReplyDeleteThe branches makes an outstanding pattern.
I will look upwards for several reasons today, and think of these words.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
The poem and tree limbs are in sync -- very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteLovely, just lovely.

Really neat shot and great poem to accompany it!
ReplyDeleteSandy, these are some beautiful and very meaningful words that you have written here.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is great.
Did you write that poem? I really enjoyed that. I love birch trees at any time, but especially against the blue of the sky. So striking. The photo and the poem were made for each other.
ReplyDeleteSimple, sweet and amazing!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful,photo,words,and the music:o)

I love this photo .. I am looking at it thinking did she lay down to take that or did she tip it on its side once taken .. no matter, its great

Very pretty.. and I love your words!
ReplyDeleteEstatic picture! Lovely poem! It puts you there! Nice reminder to look up once and awhile.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe birch is really a marvelous tree, isn't it? I especially liked Wednesday's. Are these limbs or trunks? Being parallel, they gave me the impression of how I might see tree trunks as I lay upon the grass below.
ReplyDeletegreat poem and great photo thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the poem and the image. I'm currently working a project and your poem describe it so well.
ReplyDeleteTrees are one of my favorite subject to photograph and this quite a nice shot against the sky.
Wow...did you write that poem? May I use it with proper attributes on my site -- I want to add it to a post I recently wrote on poverty and children. It makes such an important point and impact.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I love the white branches, and I especially love the words you put with them.
ReplyDeleteThis entire post (photo, words, music) is very special and beautiful! Thank you for the talent and work you shared with us here.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo. I don't think the leaves are budding here yet
ReplyDeleteVery nice. the branches seem to glow against the blue sky. MB
ReplyDeleteI like the way that the last two lines take the poem in a different direction, from parallel and never intersecting to "we are the same." Nicely done as always--and thought provoking. We are individuals ... and yet the same. A spiritual stumbling block for some, but it makes me think of a song by Peter Yarrow called "River of Jordan."
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and charming photo:)
ReplyDeleteNice picture and your poem is lovely, I can't hear the music something wrong in my comp.
ReplyDeleteHello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my site, it is about the CresceNet, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://www.provedorcrescenet.com . A hug.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo--like the horizontal way to display it!
ReplyDeleteGourgeous analogy between photo and poem....very good.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful picture, I like the way you turned it on its side - that gives us a new perspective :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!! :-)
A perfect companion piece, the photo and the poem, and it celebrates a connection among all those others in this world.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo, it's so pretty. I always like seeing the sky through the trees.
ReplyDeleteI love the poem and the contrast of the trees against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo....and that poem....WOW! I hope you are feeling better!!!!
ReplyDeletereaching for the light is what I think I love these type shotsa
ReplyDeleteI love this perspective, both the photograph and poetry.
