TWO FOR NAUGHT
or: 2=0

Two ships passing in the night
with different destinations.
It should have been the same with us,
Then I wouldn't feel these frustrations.

You are like the wind,
and you're only passing through.
And I am like the stars,
stationary and true.

Two different goals, two different minds.
We're as shifting as the sand.
Sailing upon rough hewn seas,
Occasionally meeting on dry land.

Ialways wait, but often times
you just sail on by.
No longer docking at the shore,
with me left wondering why.

There's no use for me to try
For I can't calm the wind.
Nor can I calm the rough hewn seas,
But for myself...I'll try to mend.

I will always feel the passing wind.
And the rough hewn seas I will survive!
Now on the shore I stand alone,
Letting go....that for which I strived !

* That which gives light, must endure burning *

Kitty, I don't think I've read you before, either. I must have come here while you were gone.....
Anyway, I really enjoyed this wonderful writing of yours and hope to see more.
I could feel a lot from your poem, but don't know you well enough yet to know if it's written from personal experiences or not, so I won't comment any further, so I don't embarrass myself with my reply. (I have done that before)........

I often think of past relationships in this manner....as two ships passing. Some stayed a little too long and tarnished *S*...so maybe you don't need him to dock anymore.

Really enjoyed how you put this togther though. Very nice indeed

Oi. That was very impressive. I'm just sitting here shaking my head.

A wonderful poem.
