The Way of Junctures Conduit


The journey is one so improbable
A touch between people
Lines of connection
We burst into the world
Products of culture
From nations far and flung
A settlement to place
Lines in space
Intermingled means
Touch
In the medium
Shards of light shed from joining
We come from below
Head to heart to part
The journey begins

It starts with Faith
Cartography of coincidence
Stirred from the soul of one greater than either
Humbled and grateful
We need only listen
Imbued we are with free will
A message of faith
Across points of time
These intended paths take a fork
Away from a future
Something not right
Yet product so right
How could we have been wrong
And the greater in faith
Is never wrong

It continues in Hope
Breaks in word
In couples
Always knowing something better awaits
Do not lose Hope
For in Hope will be found
The means to express
The conduit to our place
Where again we meet again and again

It comes as Love
A journey long
Rewarded
Labour to this love
For she shall love he forever
And he shall love she forever
Juncture across this vast map
Shards of light in sun and stars
Gather in brightness
Banded never ended
A pair singular in journey
A pair to prophet the journey
Free in will
Filled in faith, in hope
For love
