His words,
Filled the space between them.
Mature.

She watched them, wondering…
How he had experienced so much.

Her prose tentatively,
Made its way over to his.
Innocent.

He watched it, wondering…
How she had experienced so little.

A lifetime later,
Their poetry was,
Identical.

The author's comments:
This is about how two people can be the same age, and yet their persona's can vary due to their relative experiences. They may reach a point where they reach the same plane of thinking, due to shared life events.
