TOGETHER ALONE
Ken Bartlett 1934 (Leominsterr Mass)
together they walk alone I trot
together they talk alone I thought
together they laugh alone I cry
together they smile alone I sigh
together they carry alone I tote
together they marry alone I dote
together they sleep alone I dream
together they weep alone I scream
together they learn alone I vie
together they discern alone I lie
together forever forever alone
never alone never together
About this poem
It was there today when I got out of bed, it just ejected from my head.
