He wanted her
to understand his silence.
She was also fighting her battles -
her wounds yearning
to hear good words.
Both talked
and remained silent;
a little.
A little he walked.
A little she did.

Little by little
they fought against all odds.
Little by little
they crossed it all.
Crossed to it all
to reach each other.
In each other, once
they had spotted their homes.
In these homes now
they had found their abode
for forever!
