Mingling

First there were words, 
	the mingling of dark and light on a screen,
Then voices, 
	sound mingling with silence on the wires,
Then a time for faces, touches,
	lips mingling softly, longingly, briefly.

When two souls mingle, 
	must they know and understand apace?
Or do they offer words, voices and touches,
	traveling on in closer space?
