Seperated Together

Together we walked alone
Speperated by spaces of infinate length
Yet only a few feet apart

Quietly we walked towards
A destination unknown to our minds
But known well in our hearts

We walked together on different paths
To different places and different times
Travelling in the solitude of a group

Cooled by warm drops of rain
We found the path easily hard
Walking uphill in the sun through the snow

A group of friends so close
We are far from each other so infinately
Truely together in a hug, only to seperate together again
