(C) 1999, Don Mize
Differences of opinion,
or
more than opinion.
What matters so much
that no compromise is possible,
that separations must occur?
Each goes his own way,
leaving in the wake a broken relationship,
a loss of fellowship,
a yawning chasm that isolates.
What matters so much?
and how is a bridge ever built
over a chasm
wider than the universe?
Someone is right,
the goal must be reached,
people don’t matter.
But in the end
people reach out
and restore the bridge,
or else,
the universe becomes empty.
