"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." -Eleanor Roosevelt


I'm never alone.
I'm two friends having lunch.
I'm two birds
Sitting on a branch.
Two cherries sitting
Side by side
On the top of ice cream.
Two hands intertwined
Into one.
I'm two eyes staring into
One's soul.
I'm two shoes
That carry you on your way.
Two halves
Of a broken heart.
Two sides of
One's personality.
I'm two dice
With an unexpected outcome.
I'm two wings
Softly flying away,
I'm two,
I'm never alone.


The author's comments:

I took a creative writing class, and in the class we were asked to write about the significance of a number, in which I chose the number 2. Two has a special quality of it never being alone, always accompanied by someone of something else. We live in a world where almost everything has a dual purpose or significance. There is always two different ways of looking at something, there is always a second option, and there is always a dual side of our own inner selves as well in love and in our personalities. I used a lot of imagery to express the significance of the number and a different perspective on these different images.
