Original Submission by Malu Welaphi

For each eye, there is a different world

When the eye is shut, there is blankness.

When they open, they see a world of their own.

We could see the same pencil,

I will remember how i gifted my brother a pencil set for his twenty-something birthday,

You may think about the first test you wrote and studied for the very same day.

Your eyes and mine the very same,

Your life and mine, could never be that way.

For you were born underneath a certain set of stars,

So why expect the same outcome when we are yet so far,

Far from understanding the cluster of events that made my experience mine,

Thats what is beautiful about the divine.

We can be of the same nature,

And yet see that nature unparalleled.
