Paths Cross

The unknown paths we begin can have very important endings if we choose to have faith and continue on them.

He looks at the clouded sky, eyes wondering.

The droplets of rain run across his skin and soak his brow.

His shoes hit the cobbled ground as he wonders

What has put him on this path so far from home?

He thinks of his family as he puts his faith 

in Him.

Eyes looking toward a distant moment in the future.

She looks at the dotted ceiling, eyes wondering.

Droplets of sweat bend across her skin, soak her brow.

The gurney's wheels hit the floor as she wonders

What has she done to be put so far from home?

She thinks of her family as she puts her faith

in Him.

Eyes looking toward a moment soon to come.

He walks through the double doors of the room,

his hands feeling clean but nervous beside him.

He is in a room, with people 

who he does not know.

He closes his eyes and prays for guidance.

Alan Greenwald, be calm.

She is wheeled through the double doors of the room,

her hands feeling sweaty beside her.

She is in a brightly lit room, with people

who she does not know.

She closes her eyes and prays for serenity.

Gloria Pineda, be healed.

The operation is over, healing can begin.

Post operation, Gloria thanks Alan.

They embrace and thank God 

that they put faith in the paths they traveled

so that their destinies could meet.

Author's Note

Is the point of the poem clear?
Does it carry too much of a religious undertone?
