Reach Out

If my arms were reaching out,
I could maybe bridge the doubt.
I can stop us
from losing this chance again.
Strange avenues with weird signs,
Where is the divide?
Are you my enemy or my friend?

I don't know you,
and you don't know me,
But we have the same rising sun,
the same coloured sky.

We shouldn't be fighting,
we need to work it through somehow.
We are all connected,
in some way.
Only love can get us through.

We all grieve in different ways,
if only one drop could wave away the pain.

    You did a fine job with this, you took the prompt down a different avenue than the rest. I really liked the stanza below. we are all on this earth and fighting will never solve anything.

    I don't know you,
    and you don't know me,
    But we have the same rising sun,
    the same coloured sky.

    thanks for your entry. Best of luck in my contest. jennifer
