Here and There
From the earth you came
To the earth you shall return
You leave me but the strand of red
That’s been snipped off by the current
You leave me to flow in the relentless realm of waves
In my own silence, I shed a storm
Why?
You and I were not
Two peas in a pod
We were not two halves of a whole
Not even Thing one and Thing two
You were there and I was here
But even here you pierced my heart
Because you were still a part of the tree
From the roots we came
From the blood that runs in my veins
You were here, not there
Because you were infected by the curses of life
You were pruned
But we continue to grow as an immortal tree
Because of your sacrifice we are able to sway in the breeze
In uniscent and in peace
In the essence of love
Reflects the red string that runs from me to you
In the essence of time
Remains the ticking hands of your bright smile
In the essence of life
Remains you
From these eyes
You shall rest in the ocean of my tears
From these lips
You shall remain as my guiding words
Forever you will beat in my heart
