Point Of Impact

A simple word
A chance meeting
Two lost souls
In search of someone

Two people
So different, yet so alike
Two lives
Full of heartache
Brought together on one common ground

Like once distant stars
We now revolve
Around one sun
Space and time, no longer important

How or why it happened
I can not say
But I can still remember
The exact moment in time
Our two worlds collided


------------------
Man can not discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Hoot,
Sun to sun,
That can be fun.

Ruth, I loved "the exact moment in time our two worlds collided"! That says it all.

How charged with punishments the scroll;

I am the captain of my soul.
