As East And West Meet Poem by Andrew W.K. Yip

But for wicked time and distance meet East and West,
Those tearless eyes perceive not what they see -
A longing heart and its vain and elusive quest
For a love forgotten beyond the stormy sea.

Someday, somehow, East meets West,
Love and truth will flow and worry washed away.
Though long did sorrow twist and grow and torment infest,
It will dissolve when love streams home to stay.

Love knows no time, space, nor any human test.
True minds bind most and distance matters least,
Bringing bliss beyond our thoughts and blest
With wisdom to know West's not West, East not East.
