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...
