CONVERGING PATHS

Michael Edwards

CONVERGING PATHS

                                               

Left all alone,

with no one to care for.

Both sought a new direction

that led them down converging paths

and took them there

to Kirby Grange

 

Still alone

but gently settling,

slowly, surely, friendship formed.

With empathy and understanding,

both grew close

at Kirby Grange

 

Directions found,

their paths converged,

their hopes and dreams

now realised,

together both

at Kirby Grange.

    Leaving alone is so sad. But new direction is sought here. Relationship is now gently settling. Friendship is now formed with empathy and understanding. This is very beautiful poem.
