A Blind Date Poem by Dipak Sen

Two unknown persons
They began their trek slowly
ever so slowly
step after step over pebbles,
foot after foot left sand prints
small pools of little starfish.

The lady turned and spoke to the stranger
" I don't need my eyes now, there's no sound, just the silence"
The beach stretched on and on
the shoreline is never ending.
The stranger turned and said:
" are we not drawn onward, two of us, onward towards a new era? "

They continue to walk
Hope in both hearts.
