Togetherness
Sometimes a song triggers memories
of past days when the heart felt warmed
in the cozy company of loved ones
sharing in their meaningful stories.
And then we cry
as days go by
plodding and chasing
to pay the bills
lacking all trill
of togetherness.
Contacts have split almost globally
looking for ways to live descent lives,
while it gets harder almost everywhere
to work for a living and really meet.
And then we cry
as days go by
plodding and chasing
to pay the bills
lacking all trill
of togetherness.
A notion grows with age that we're driven
to work like an ox till our strengths decay,
and to then conclude it's our shared warmth
we're wasting, which we'd better be giving.
And then we cry
put up a fight
hoping and coping
to find new ways
freeing up time
for togetherness.
