Last Line: We are one in what we are.
Subject(s): Absence; Reunions; Separation; Isolation
I was not ready for your return;
It came too soon.
My life was a thing apart from yours,
As sun to moon.
I tried to know that you were here;
But you were gone.
As bellbuoys toll on the rolling sea,
The years go on.
Yet, I shall see throughout these years
One glowing star.
Though we are apart in what we do,
We are one in what we are.
