Handshake
Handshake
Extended arms overcome to reconcile
what was once divided and separated.
Perhaps one or both has to reach out
further, even to a protracted cantilever.
Age, tradition and culture arch backs
but a bow does not mean genuflection.
Traversing a span to overcome and reach
beyond voids of indifference takes ingenuity.
That which connects links of a chain
straddling the sprocket, is a split pin.
The cross of Calvary did not vex Jesus but
we let anger obliterate our viaducts of life.
Yet rehabilitation is achievable, 427 years
of damaged history was restored at Mostar.
