The Two Ships

Once there were two ships
Two ships from far far different lands

Nothing was similar in them
Nothing the same

The only thing was
Both had to navigate through same the ocean's reign

They met each other in a part of the ocean familiar to none
They felt that their seas were filled with unknowns

And the things they had thought known
Were the imaginations of their own

Lost were they there
Though free in the ocean they were stuck under some burden

Haunted by the unknowns and knowns of their imagination
They turned to each other to find some solution

They started talking and sharing their various voyages
Some were dark and ugly some were of hope and redemption

Their shared voyages of the dark times
When their Hull was broken starboard was cracked and still how they had come out intact

Their shared voyage which they thought would be peaceful and merry
Turning  to be their biggest adversary

Though the voyages were done and the wounds were bare
Talking just made the pain a little less intense

They formed with each other a bond
A bond of suffered pain and loss

And then they shared their voyages which were yet to see
Full of joy and happiness they were plenty

They wanted the other to see these voyages with them
But knew it was never to happen as both had some different aims

And then did come that day when they had to choose their own path
Leaving the other behind, following their own heart

And so they left to continue their voyage...
