Hand In Hand

Suddenly
jolted and surprised
I saw them move together hand in hand.

A mathematician
moving symbols all around
creating a proof that will stand.

A poet
moving words all around
creating a poem I understand.

A mathematician
seeking beauty
in a theorem that's true in any land.

A poet
seeking beauty
in a verse ringing true and never canned.

Searching for answers
of a slightly different kind
both on a journey that is grand.

Walking as one
Thinking as two
a mathematician and a poet hand in hand.
