The ocean of pain

In pain,
I can swim
and meet you
in the same sorrowful waters.

In pain,
I can swim
and know
how hard it is
for you
to swim too.

In pain,
I can leave
my solid ground.
Ground that is solid,
yet so lonely.
Ground that is solid,
yet so thorny.
Ground that is solid,
but full of barbed fences.

In pain,
I can leave
my solid ground
and meet you.
Then when we meet
on ground,
yours or mine,
I hope I remember
we swam
in the same ocean

of pain.
