    Parallel Lives

    I walked a long journey
    I walked the journey alone.
    In the distance I saw
    Another from my beloved home.

    Living parallel lives
    The two never to meet
    Choosing the same destiny
    Of which never to speak.

    I asked how can this be?
    Of which there was no answer
    From the other of my parallel life.

    We walk along this journey
    We walk the journey alone.
    Empty, confused, rushed
    Following the thoughts in our head.
    Blinded by the racing frenzie of life.
    Never looking around to notice our partners.

    Wouldn't feel so lonely
    We wouldn't be so tense
    If we could only slow down to see our sisters from the past.

    My beloved homeland.
    In the distance now.
    Not so far is my parallel partner.

    Though I walk along this journey
    I walk the journey...alone.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
