A Duel Piece

Time Zone

You shuffle your time,

I shuffle mine,

Distractions fill us,

As we try so hard to get closer.

Fighting the distance,

fighting the precious time, we get nearer,

only to get further away.

I want to beat this zone of missed opportunities,

So, I can reach your heart.

Here there and everywhere,

six in the morning when one here,

or noon here and five there.

Different languages spoken,

different attitudes toward life,

and we all share one bond:

expression of inner-self.

Above it all,

be it a thought,

a story, a poem, even just one word,

one stroke of a key;

we are bound as one.

@anarosewood and I made a challenge to each other. She was surprised by another post I did when I said I wrote it under 10 minutes here on my post. I joked and said maybe 9:53.

That's where the challenge came about, and with a slight nudge from @Msh, we, anarosewood and myself agreed to a topic and a time for us to each write what we would cojoin. Three minutes each. And as she said, she wanted seven, but I wouldn'r budge. Yeah, I can be a bossy old man at times!

But in essence, this piece is for all the Prosers out there from all four corners of the Earth. Thank you all for what you put here for us to share your tiny corner of life.
