I found shelter
Walking alone
As woods would thin
Or hedges would part
From ditch-low views
To mountainside arcs
And even as we were
Making own progress
We kept parallel tracking
Following stars’ pinpoints
I did not think that we had
Anything more in common
Than pain in its complexity
Pulling us many directions
Since when has such been
Good basis for beginning?
But as I see your emerging
I’m applauding as grinning
Because we both endured
Similar wasted years’ trials
Over land and under water
Through bitter times tasted
I have learned about you more
By ears deciphering languages
And realized we are both seeking
Fulfillment of hearts’ raw desires
At first assumed common to all
Yet silently pushed to extremes
