Crossings

Went to the park today

Looked out over the calm, crystal clear, beautiful water

Walked by the man fishing

And a few men sitting on the bench

Another one casts his line and then steps back

Family with kids running around playing

Having the time of their lives

Birds making music

Squirrels looking for supper

Sitting on the park bench soaking it all in

So many lives crossing

Intersecting

As if we were all drawn to be there

At the same place, at the same time

Together

Having never seen each other before

And maybe never seeing each other again

Here, together

For a little while

Until we move on to cross paths

With others
