Together Alone
While the sun sets for you
it rises for me, you are halfway
around the world, our differences
nights and days apart –
while I dreamed of
settling you dreamed of travel –
when you saw blue skies
I was tamped beneath the
overcast below –
"timing is everything"
in life, I have often heard...
and as the clock ticks
further down, I have begun to
wonder if even eternity will bring
any of us really closer together...?
Oh!~ I know, for I have also studied
The Scriptures, and our need for faith...
but I have also tasted the tea
unsweetened, and read the residue –
staining my heart with vivid images
of sustained separation
Though alone is never alone
when with God, I am reminded
but even Christ clung to His beloved
human company...
