Two Worlds

Although we are all born

into what we know as

“the world,”

we each entered through the portal

of our mother’s womb

into different worlds—

separate realities

each being distinctly unique 
and peculiar to each one of us,

environments that are the sum

of all the events and circumstances

shaping the spiritual,

mental, emotional

and physical environment
leading up to that moment

into which we were introduced.

Heritage, lineage, geography, 
culture, tradition, religion, 
chance, fate and much more,

were all factors

shaping the particulars

of the subjective worlds

we each have come to accept

as the foundation of our particular world—

the reality through which

we each interact with the worlds of others

as they occur to us,

both individually, and collectively,

in their own peculiar way,

through our point of view,

our perspective.
