Going Away – Together

Picture courtesy of lizsteel.com

Far away into the night
they traverse together
enjoying the sites

Companionable silence
erupts into fights before stillness
once more rides the roads

One in his world of earthly delights
the other immersed in electronic respite
so close together so very far apart

Two ships in a storm
not passing not moving
tangled together by histories anchor

Neither willing to break the old mold
afraid of ruining a lifetime of work
while leaving the lonely one at home

    This is indeed true of many households. People sitting together but distant. Beautifully written
