Two Parallel
Lines
(for Lynn)
By Paul R.
Lloyd
Two people who
travel together through life like two parallel lines will never
touch, never embrace, never kiss. The distance apart requires that
they sometimes shout at each other in order to be heard. They cannot
see each other clearly for they are too far apart. They cannot enjoy
the sweet aroma of each other’s love.
Two people can
move closer together so that they are still parallel and yet reach
out to touch each other. But the touching is as likely to push each
other away as it is to join them together. They can hear each
other’s voices but cannot always find a common ground for
communication. They can see each other clearly but not always
eye-to-eye. They can inhale the aroma of each other but it is
sometimes offensive and leaves them desiring greater distance from
each other.
Two parallel
people can join together as lovers in a marriage that makes them one
– a singularity in a plural world. Such a union allows the couple to
breathe life into each other, to see eye-to-eye, to hear without
criticism or fault-finding, to touch and be touched in joy, peace
and excitement. Such a couple, made one in God’s sight, gives off
the sweet fragrance of romance and love. Romance because they are a
joy to behold and because they always emphasize the good, the glad
and the happy while minimizing the negative. Love because they have
bonded into a single unity with a commitment that holds no hurts and
keeps no record of wrongs but instead gives freely without asking,
bears burdens gladly, stands by in the hard times, and celebrates
the good times with enthusiastic joy so the world can marvel at
their sweet success.
