Whispers Across the Divide #518

Whispers Across the Divide In quiet spaces, thought to being, Where world's heart beats, dualities singing, A dance, a weave of wisdom, East and West entwining, At understanding's river, ourselves discovering. Sharp, the West, with keen eye and mind, Carves truths from marble, clear and defined. Speaks of the I, of rights held tight, In logic's structure, seeking light. Meanwhile, the East, in unity's song, Sees not threads but tapestries long. Not stars, but constellations bright, In mystery's scent, in heart's soft light. Below differences, a shared beat, A whisper in the wind, a meaning sweet. A quest for good, for essence, for being's core, Hands reaching across, seeking more. This dance, this blend, does not erase, But celebrates each distinct face. Invites wisdom from both spheres, To speak, to guide, through all our years. At cultures' crossroads, let us hear, The symphony of thoughts, far and near. Eastern and Western wisdom, a guiding light, Into a future where truth unites. Let whispers across the divide, Be our music, our heart's guide, Where wisdom knows no borders, truth no frontiers, In unity's dance, through all our years. Written by Steven G. Lee (March 9, 2024)
