From Opposite Ends

From opposite ends of the earth we came,
trundling our bags,
our treasures,
our laughter,
our hearts.

From opposite ends of the city we came,
From different points where we stood still,
So near, yet far apart.
From opposite ends of the world we came,
silent, cautious and unseen.

From opposite ends of a lifetime we came,
and found a life of magic hovering in between.
From opposite ends of a heart, we smile,
Two lives blended into one,
with no more opposites to approach,
the you,
the me,
the we growing day by day,
looking for the way to find what I'd always dreamed and never seen,
always tried and never been,
always thought but never knew,
until at last I discovered that the gift
I always sought was You.

The rest of the world sits around in a knot,
a complicated ball of strangled confusion,
And bundled hopes beyond repair.
While in simple silence,
have our private miracle to share.
O pity the poor tangled,
strangled knots, which we,
Thank God, are not!
