Analysis of Apart Together



Our connection will not wane
When in distance we are far
Whether drenched in sheets of rain
Or colluding on a star

Fused together we are one
Safely our trust will enshroud
Broiling in the rays of sun
Or protected by a cloud

With no tears to blur the eye
Obbligato with each tune
Shielded by umbrella sky
Or rising with the blue-moon

Voices wafting through the breeze
Like some esoteric code
The intangible we seize
Or translate in spirit mode
