Verse First - Interconnected
 Natalie Goldberg once said, "We are all interwoven and create each other's universes... We don't live for ourselves; we are all interconnected."
You affect me. I affect you. One action begets a series of reactions, which expand the web of connectedness. Every action is a pebble in the pond, every reaction a ripple. And so it goes. Consider the vast truth of this and write about it.

Poetry Jam - October
Be inspired by the month of October. Share what October means to you.

Oh what passion do you ignite

Like a bird soaring high my soul takes flight

A whisper a thought I feel in my heart

Though we are countless miles apart

An invisible connection we do share
An eternal bond so true and rare

Do I meet you in travels to spiritual lands

Do you feed my spirit to knowledge expand

You are the flame that beckons my soul

And only with you can I be whole

~x~

A time in October I came on this Earth

To meet you here, to share some mirth

But Destiny plays a cruel game

Doused your fire, put out the flame

Connections we share through space and time

Knowing you are mine is a feeling sublime

I reach for you through invisible veils

To guide the boat of my life for you are its sails

A time in October I might come again to this Earth

Can we journey here together in my next birth?

~x~

I wrote the first poem a long time ago and thought it fit the prompt.
October is a special month for me, the beginning of my life.
