Click hereTwo paths begin
across the world from each other,
but heading towards
some apparent convergence.
After much time and
equal efforts,
the paths meet
somewhere toward their center.
When they connect,
magic happens
and the travel goes faster
and easier
while their roads are united.
But soon they realize
that though these paths still cross,
they are heading away
from each other.
Then comes the choice--
do they ignore the previous direction
of each one's entire existence,
and stay together,
forming a whole new configuration,
previously unseen?
Or do they continue in their paths
and lose each other
and the ease of the journey?
Being creatures of habit
and still bitterly lonely at heart
they continue in their
solitary channels,
moving away from each other,
forgetting their communion
and following the plan.
