I stand on one side
Chasm below
Deep and dark and
Divisive
Truth is my walking stick
And I am
Convinced
I carry on my back
All the reasons
Why
Pack filled with
The wrongs of others
Of needs to be met
My map to the
Answers
I look across the expanse
To the other
Side
There you stand
With your own baggage
You have innocents to
Protect
And see me as the
Enemy
Your answers are clear to
You
But across the
Fog-filled valley
They are hazy to
Me
So I stand here
And you stand there
Unflinching in our
Rightness
The voice reaches our ears
Let go
See reality
We actually know
Nothing
Drop the positioning and
Listen
What is there in
Common?
Love
Kindness
Service
Hope
Can we find the way to
Truth?
Shall we build a
Bridge?
Rickety as it may be
Just start somewhere
And let the
Noise of our words fall
Away
Leaving only
Footprints
As we begin the
Walk to the
Middle
And to each
Other
