alight

alight with sadness
for that which is passing
my words conform
to that which is around me,
within me and without of me...

i am alone,
though i am by your side.
we want to walk together, holding hands
but always there is a point of letting go.

it is so sad
to lose you,
as we've lost before.

the only consolation
ever, is that we meet again.
this life, or next,
in time,
we are all everything to one another
and nothing
is ever lost
to the universe.
