Apart, Together


Humming softly, breathing quietly

eyes closed, immersed

hear the bird, the wind, the trees,

hear the wind whispering, nature singing

roll up, hide; alone

surrounded by life, but no life within

only a deep yearning, sadness

depression

shivers, ragged breaths

see emptiness, hear life

near life, not in life

yearning,

thinking, contemplating

see the light, darkness surrounds

hope and laughter, despair

two voices,

one song
