CAMELOT FANTASIES

The Web

This Web it wraps around the globe,
Needs no wire to link its probe.

Climbs in our homes and thus our mind.
Begins to draw in so much time.

Many preach it's evil wiles,
Users beware of trollers smiles.

But something magical it seems,
Generates these ethereal streams.

Giving power through music and sound,
Messages of hope from all around.

A smiling hello from across the world,
Strangers become friends as their stories unfurl.

You see people you'd never have chances to meet.
Strolling along the World Wide Web street.
So dear friends I must "Thank You" and do not regret.
Our chance encounter - on this Internet.

Miles Between

Many people live far away,
From the people who they love each day.

Miles of land, of trees and sea,
Prevent you-from being next to me.

The bonds of love they keep us close,
Though miles between-we think of most.

We use what time we can and do,
Use text to chat and cell phones too.

Video clips and photos shared,
While closeness, we do need-is spared.

Now and then we drive and fly,
Embrace in hugs-sit close by.

Catch up on moments we were lacking,
Sit up too late-mindlessly snacking.

Then like a flash, the days are past,
Though time speeds on, the memories last.

No price applies to time well spent.
For loved ones sure are Heaven sent.
