An amazing thing in this cyber age
meeting online seems so all the rage
A picture, some words, in a blur just gone by
that one could stick, in your mind, heart and eye
Their paragraphs, shoutbox, somehow ring true
past experiences (like yours) that made us both blue
A rhythem, some empathy, it sets a deep tone
before you know it, you're there on the phone
A voice softly heard, behind their past prose
sounds somehow so right, no wonder you chose
To enrichen and deepen mundane dialogue
that started and grew from such silly blog
And before you know it, you soon start to see
This friend's been down roads, parallel to me
It's gone now as far as can possibly go
With pictures and words, it's time to show
A meeting is set, time, place and date
Face to face boldly confronting new fate
Conjured ideas, rich fantasies drawn
Like fluffy pink clouds, right before dawn
Checking your clothes, or hair in the glass
in the next few hours, who knows what will pass
Will I make a new friend that is trusted and kind
will chemistry fizzle, in an alley now blind
From words I've a sense of who you might be
Do you live by them, Love by them, now we shall see
What changes will come from chance meeting this?
Could things go so well, it could end in first kiss
These thoughts and more, spring full-grown to mind
When contemplation meets moment, and what we might find
