We sit together,
Looking for each other’s
Touch of reassurance.

 

We sit together,
Without one’s knowledge –
How much we have lost…

 

Or, found by losing!
We talk of a friendship
Of a lifetime.

 

We sit together,
Deliberately separate from –
The world of chaos.

 

We sit together,
So we can reclaim –
What is special between us.

 

We sit together,
Watching the sea’s end –
Somewhere near the horizon.

 

We sit together,
Hearing the rain’s echo,
Coming through the purple mist.

 

We sit together –
You laden with dreams,
And I wonder at you!
