New Eyes

(1)
continents and culture’s ridges
who knows why we’re in this place
soaring glass towers and snaking bridges
we’ve crossed over time and space

(2)
face to face we spoke of truth
who we are and lessons learned
gazes gaze as two eyes met
no chance friendship would be spurned

Ch
And oh my friend our music’s sweet
brightened by our different colours
monochrome worlds cannot compete
with multi-hues and myriad flavours

(3)
sharing backgrounds and life stories
viewed through our refocused lenses
shucking off the ancient histories
forging past uncharted fences

Bridge
I’m so happy that I found you
though there’s a fair bit more to know
despite our different backgrounds, you
sought me out so we could grow

solving humanity’s dilemmas
our minds together, it’s a snap
injustices from the past millennia
solutions from across the map...
