Bokonon

I met you on the sidewalk.
Wait. Let me rephrase.
I've known you for awhile,
But you found me through my tears.
Swirling, awe-inspiring speck after speck.
The Cat's Cradle engaged my neck
I saw it, I know I did I had to bend forward.
The traffic ceased, the birds had no song,
Legoland was held still.
Respect was being paid.
The noise makers knew better than clangor
to crowd my head with their clatter.
Its not often you speak so loudly.
Hand to my head, I had to make
your words echo.
Knees bent and eyes squinting, there's
no way I was missing this.
For those ten minutes, trips away from
home became voyages to greatness.
'Your purpose is to keep finding me,'
your voice so clear
fading into my own.
