Poetry: Our Secret Connection

This is my first  poetry in English, it was inspired by my friend I knew from fb (I won't write her name before getting her permission). We've never met in real life, I hope I will meet her some day.

I am a muslim from Indonesia who is studying in Traditional Islamic Boarding School known as Pesantren. She is an atheist from U.S. She helps me in many things, especially in learning English. I was about to sell it (Even though, I don't know if there is anyone who wants to publish this, lol), but I realized that our friendship was more important than money. Then, I post it here, on my own home.

So here is my poetry for her!

Our secret connection

By space we are separated

But it doesn't mean we are not connected

Because love isn't something that can be bounded

It breaks everything materialism has limited

Even if philosophy of materialism what we believe

Still, it can't refute our belief

Because, who knows, the air you breathe

May fall into the air I take in my breath

We agree on something

We also disagree on another thing

But that isn't really something

Which can break our feeling

You are in a state of atheism

And I am in a state of theism

But how we together fall into altruism

That's a proof we should avoid egoism

Should I worry about you?

If what I believe is true

That hell and heaven are what life comes through

After death has come, it will come to me and you

No, I should not

Because I know you are not

Someone who refuses the truth in the heart

And the Wise God judges based on the truth which comes to the heart
