At The Point Of Intersection, Are We One? Poem by Anita Atina

It’s the middle of night here, but its high noon for you

You face the sun, and I gaze at the moon

Worlds apart, but spiritually one



You look back on life, with wisdom to share

I look ahead, with much to learn

But at the point of intersection, we mirror each one



Your heart overflows with love, mine longs for some

You give love so naturally, where my heart fails to lead me

But when you needed to receive, I gave as one



The future dances before your eyes, I grope ahead

You tolerate life’s meandering, I thrash at it wondering

But when life through you a tough one, I saw we were one



One as you looked into my soul,

And tenderly caressed the loneliness you saw there

And tried to shield me, from the pain that you everyday live with
