It is not the never-ending highway,
and the countless cycle of hours
That stand between us...
It is not the fear of being imprisoned
by the passing of time, as our crowns
turn to gray.......
Not our most cherished dreams
That separate us.....
Several times, we may stumble or fall,
Too overcome by weariness
As we travel towards the heart,
The deepest part of our souls
But, It matters not...
Nothing stands to part us...
Except the love between us
That......which binds us.

Too overcome by weariness
As we travel towards the heart,
The deepest part of our souls

This poem is a translation of my Filipino poem entitled "Pagitan." The excellent translation was made by Ms. SALLY A. BAYAN, a remarkable fellow Filipino who also writes in this portal for poets. Thank you very much Ms. Sally!
