The Junction

by Renton de Alwis

Meeting hearts and minds
parting ways head east
wait for rising sun
turn west with purple skies
dusty roads will take you south
northern star guides through the night
meet part meet again
 journey journeyed
no end only a beginning
meeting parting ways

the junction
it stands still
no time no place
only space to play
hide and seek
look left look right
take off red amber green
leave junction behind
fade draw horizon line
 

take nothing take all
laugh cry shout sigh
give take hold let go
when minds meet
greet please
hurt rejoice
play seek
to meet to reach
to part again.
