If Only We Are One Poem by Izobelle Pulgo

Cast into the sea of unending gloom
Paddling ashore, longing for home
Swept upstream by currents unseen
Back to where you left
Back to when our story begin.

Blue waters hiding secrets
Vain attempts of discovery
Blurred murky by ethereal droplets
Of rain and tears and endless plea.

Splashing muddy waters along the way
Boots a-stomping, running away
To go, to go, not knowing where
Away, away, no reason to stay.

Prayers unanswered, screams unheard
Tears frozen in an unending cry
Left for dead, you disappeared
I, not knowing why.

And when the seas will calm
The storm will cease
Back to where we're from
A beginning, a release
Of a story not yet ended
Nor has begun,
Now of an eternity,
Of an immortality that we have none
We will fare, we will fare
Forever, need it be,
If only we are one.

Then and only then, our story has begun.
