Together Apart


from the ABC set 2011

I'm dissolved in the song of the rain -
In the echoing beat of your heart.
It's you pulse that still feels in my veins
Every day spent together apart.

Autumn alters the shades of the days,
Seasons change - we remain all the same.
An immaculate image portrays
Sheer grief in a beautiful frame.

I am kindling the candle of love,
And the lighter replaces a match.
See, in years it's getting too tough
To create this immaculate sketch.

Once your arms are a shelter for me,
All my dreams have the space for us two.
You're the shore to my bottomless sea,
We're apart, but I'm there with you.
