Similar Differences


If I were to ask you
for a word
that meant everything,
I have an idea of the answer:

“You,”
and maybe you’d mean it.

But heaven differs
from animal to animal;
Your god is not my god.

I worship freedom.
I seek forever.

We diverge.

And yet...
we love.

Some poets labor for their entire lives to write such a stanza. If I didn't know your age already I would've assumed this was written by someone over 60. Mature work!
