Together In Two Different Worlds | Poem

 
 together
 in two different worlds 
 love survives
 beauty in such eyes inviting joy
 thru depth of pain experienced
 the age 
 when clam and sky 
 are not so very far apart
 one remembers and wonders why
 the most fearful thrive on power
 of cancer cells
 the antithesis of pearls built of sand
 richly woven in nestled love
 it is with human eyes we find star's
 light with wonder as we dare
 speak the name of a beloved
 even gods can learn love out of fear
 lacks possibility
 it is as the farmer supposes
 "There are only two kind of people
 ...those that know they need love
 to live and those that don't know
 they do."
