SEPARATION - W S MERWIN

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle
Everything I do is stitched with its colour.

...

SEPARATION- My words:

Separation is a word I know well
A word on which some futures dwell
But not mine I say
I will live my life, my way

The separation I have faced
Was when my life was based
In the begining and in the end
True love will always defend
Defend you from fears, defend you form truths
Defend you from darkness with in the roof

My loss was sad, worse than most
but none know how I feel, I care not to boast
I have love, I know
Even if it is hidden under the snow
Soon it will melt, and reveal itself to me
Then comes the buzzing of the bee
As spring comes now
With its blossom and bloom
The blue of the moon

Separation is hard
but thin as a card
in an instant its there
but cares not to share
it has no means
no will of its own
but by fate it comes
harsh as the sun
caring not what lies in its way.
It will push through it, cut past, kill anything that lies in its path...
And with separation, generally comes sadness and tears...
