What if we began to agree?

What if we began to agree?

We are on a journey

Together our minds are occupied

Rarely do we share exacting ideas

In fact we often keep ourselves alone

Wielding a safety net from scrutiny.

Yet when we share,

Look into one another’s eyes

Really look deep inside

And recognize; our breathing

Becomes similar in time.

Are not those moments to realize?

Can we understand character that create

Fears we hide from one another

Continue to drag down our

Desire to appreciate Peace?

I took a walk the other day

And on the street I noticed you.

As I strolled by your eyes followed me

We weren’t ever going to interact

We just felt compelled to notice.

How many moments do we stroll right past

Each other?

How often does our insecurity prevent;

Remain our albatross

That could never be shared.

Imagine an afternoon whereby

The ‘crowd’ at the bus-stop

Suddenly felt compelled to share

Ideas and philosophical notions

What if we began to agree?

What does support mean if we choose

To ignore the needs of our neighbor?

If a friend calls you deep, are they aware

That in a given moment your own fears

Might cause you to run?

So often we concern ourselves

With issues that mean nothing.

Tomorrow, can you put aside

Your differences and just say hello?

What if we began to agree?
