Shore to Shore

The sea that waters our souls,

Crashes between our shores
Creating a turbulent sense
of our reality

For you are you
As I am I
Each of us a distinctly seperate shore

Only our empathy and compassion
Can ever still the waters...
...between our shores

I like how this works on a one on one basis and on a Nation to Nation level as well.  Well done. ebm

You know I never thought of it as nation to nation but more of a one to one relationship poem...however know that I see it in light of your insight, you know it can also work on a nation to nation...thanks for you insight ebm..ww

Your title grabbed me, but it was your ending
that warmed me and left me with a sense of calm.

Pretty piece of poetry, walt~

Your metaphorical usage of shores was spendidly executed.
