Poetry list
the outsider
my life
and yours
draws a
line
creating division
inside and
outside
I would it
were not so
though it
makes life
clear and
comforting
there is always
the other
beyond my
line and yours
and with that
stranger
dwells the
love which
creates
redeems
and sustains
it is there
that each
of us
must live
with the
eternal mystery
of the one
who is always
beyond
my margin
here is hope
joy
and the
real future
