On paths

entry picture

On paths we cross,
threads connecting
in place 

 

Our alignments tangle
in a web
of time 

 

Flashes trapped
as water drops 
on glass

 

When day closes,
our vapour trails
I trace

 

Those moments in place,
roll like ripples 
on a lake

 

Those places in time,
held like snow globes 
in my mind

Lovely flow. Wasn't sure about the repetition of 'place' but reading over a few times it grew on me and provided that pivot which keeps the poem revolving like the planet we inhabit.
