Alone

The time will come when one will go it alone

Richard Partridge

Oct 28, 2022

As age increases, so too the distance,
yet we rely on each other evermore and deeper still.

The time will come when one will go it alone,
involuntarily
and even though every moment they are here the other
wishes they were not, the current will flip, polarities reverse.

In the solar flare of loss, and grief 
all of that will be forgotten.
