Wait

two lives run

in parallel lines

never crossing

never intersecting


our lines run

miles apart

never knowing

never touching


two lives

two lines

always separate

always parallel


parallel lines

meet at the

horizon I'll be

waiting there

I like! I should say read my poem... but instead I will say check out "I saw a man" by Stephen Crane, which inspired my own horizon poem. 7 for this lovely write :) xomo

Hi Maureen, I've now looked at a fair amount of your work. You can see my comments. Which piece is "horizon" poem? Just to make sure I get it right? Thanks. Forrest
