Together Alone in a Garden of Stone

Separated by time and space they are kindred spirits in heart and soul,

Each longing for a lost love to hold;

 Each together but apart,

Each gather their grief into their heart;

 Separated by time and space, they stand and kneel together in their gardens of stone,

 Where below their feet the remains of a lost love have gone;

 Each telling the other, “It will be fine”,

But neither believing the words meant to comfort and ease the passage of time;

 Together alone their souls are wracked by intense grief,

No matter how brief;

 Together alone,

They both leave their gardens of stone.
