Maybe It’s Not Impossible

Is it possible to fall for

someone you haven't seen -

whose image is confined

to pixels on a screen?

Is it possible to be

captured and taken in

by photos, emails and

video messaging?

Is it possible from this

to obsess and over think -

the idea of meeting

this someone for a drink?

Is it possible from this

to wander into foreign space

transform it all into

your familiar place?

Is it possible like this

to offer up a question

that inspires an idea

like divine suggestion?

Is it possible like this

to set off a single spark

that reaches over oceans

regardless of the dark,

that reaches through time,

regardless of distance apart,

that reaches across space,

regardless of end or start,

that reaches around us,

just to have a heart to heart?

Is it possible like this

to set a precedent here

spell out a sign that

echoes long and clear -

maybe it's not impossible

to make a life of meaning, when

you share it with someone

who actually cares, once again.
