When our paths parted
we walked forward
on our own paths
through woods of darkness
Autumn leaves were falling
Through cold winter days
and aching marshland
Though we kept the sun
in our hearts
And we planted our seeds
watered our strength
with our tears
And from mud
new flowers arose
Green plants grew
along the path
And we walked parallel,
it seemed
And we both went far
away and out of sight
in foreign lands and
to places unknown
But as we walked forward
our paths intertwined
