(twenty-four of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
 
We started out  young
teens, as I remember
You lived in a different city
attended a different school
Yet somehow the universe
conspired to get our paths
to parallel. . .
& we met and fell
 
i’d never met a Girl who
played a decent game of chess!!
You also could draw & paint
(in Your genes I suppose; Your
Dad, a Nationally known artist)
You even wrote Poetry!!
Wow! Wow! (un)Holy cow!

“ I looked for You, online
after my divorce. “
 
“ i did the same
after my divorce. “
 
“ Soon after, I left Christianity
I am a Buddhist, now. “
 
“ i too, left the faith where You and me first met;
i became a student of zen Buddhism. “
 
“ I have a Beautiful Daughter. “
 
“ i had a Beautiful Daughter. “
 
“ This is nice, chatting over video Skype & coffee. “
 
“ Yeah it is.  We should start doing this once a month? “
 
“ Leading where? “
 
“ Let’s just live for the moment(s). . .”
