You are of Earth, I'm water-sign; <br />Frivolous, frothing, foam will fly, <br />You are base; and acid, I: <br />Float on clouds above your soil, <br />As mud we make, together; toil- <br /> <br />Though you are far, and I am near; <br />Near as a picture, or a mirror, <br />I'm near to me, you're farther, there; <br />There be no friction, then to fear, <br />There is no face, no voice to hear- <br /> <br />Somewhere long past, our shadows fell <br />Across each other, none to tell; <br />Or photos grey-tinged lips, were pressed <br />When mashed one instant, gainst the rest; <br />Perhaps one molecule of air, that you exhaled- <br />I inhaled; still, at least as ghosts, we cannot fail.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-ghost-to-another/
