Two Children

Two children lost in the wood and snow, huddled by a small but tended fire, clinging together for warmth and safety, That was the story of our lives. Imbedded in the old and tattered photo, lay the hidden reality of childhood and children sustaining one another Through years and space and time. Together in search of finding life's purpose it's unattainable answers to the question of existence the point of journeying together. Alone as individuals we found the reply unremarkable, often lost, misplaced, forgotten and unachieved due to the circumstances of living life. Two children growing up and looking out for one another despite the difficulties and the trials somehow surviving, surpassing all. Two children taken by the whirlwinds of living and eventually dying still bound together through time having learned in shared secrecy, the lessons of life.
