Wave interference: “Wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet. The two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude.”
I find delight in exploring the fantastical landscape of life surrounding me
Each silhouette
So seemingly insignificant from a distance
A puzzle of indistinguishable faces swimming amidst the crowd
Each soul
Composed of every colour both seen and unseen
A private entity shared with only a few
A whole life wrapped in skin and muscles and bones
Dressed in cotton and furs and groomed ever so neatly
Here is my elegy to all the souls I’ll never kiss
How strange
In a mere coincidence
As the gusty wind picks up speed
My lonesomeness is disrupted as another life crashes into mine
A complicated cobalt blue to compliment my teal
And as the daylight surrenders to the ivory moon
I begin to learn the story of their soul
Filled with love and heartbreak
Joy and sorrow
I begin to memorize every crevice and beauty-mark that paints their face
No longer a greyish outline scribbled in the distance
But a familiar ruby heart that has become a friend
Here is my elegy to all the souls I’ve had the pleasure of knowing
How strange
Time is a funny thing
It takes a lot of it to understand someone and a lot of it to forget someone
The sad part about a friendship is even though we want it to last forever
Sometimes
The familiar face that once felt like home becomes nothing but a silhouette again
Sometimes
Our time in each other’s lives was only meant to be temporary
Two waves traveling in opposite directions
Who just happened to pass through each other
How lucky we are to learn the tales of another beating heart
Here is my elegy to the souls that I have loved and to all the souls that I have lost
How strange
