Cross Current IV
When Opposite Truths Move Together
The Tide
You expected one tide to leave
before another arrived.
Instead you found yourself laughing
while missing them.
Planning
while grieving.
Belonging
while searching.
The sea has long known this meeting of currents.
The Sea
The sea carries countless movements at once.
Beneath every visible tide,
another current continues its work.
Neither asks the other to disappear.
Each belongs.
Along this shore
You no longer wait for one truth to defeat another.
They begin
making room
for each other.
The
crossing
becomes
wide enough…
to carry them both.
A lantern for the crossing
The sea has never required every current to move in the same direction.
