One Step At A Time Poem by Lorenzo Costigliolo

Two stranger meet
intentions both unknown
to each no name no dates
of age nor place of birth
just passing bodies
like raindrops from dark clouds
on unsuspecting leaves
left nestled on the ground

Two strangers meet
like leaves in heedless fall
both swaying on each way
untrod by any other one
unmoved by gentle breeze
their steps on different paths
One step, one step with ease
through leaves upon the ground.

Two strangers meet
somewhere in local time
on different avenues
two continents apart
one soul in search for love
the other for a mended heart
one planned step at a time

Two strangers meet
walking slowly hand in hand
one step by each in concert
one slow step at a time
