The sad awakening to the fact
That it is all over and finished
No more a team of two
Hearts beating in perfect unison
Breath synchronised at soul level
Paths diverging, the wood is dark
My different path makes a world
Of change and difference, lonely
The one I must travel alone
I'm walking down the silent path
Leaves crunching underfoot, wondering
Now at the beauty of spring
Of growth of the dramatic changes
I enter my favourite canopy of trees
The tunnel is so green and safe
I turn to share, but am alone
This is the peace, the quiet
The reflecting time, the reward
The trees comfort me with their strength
The river booths me with it's constancy
And I realise through all my sad days
This has been my anchor, my hero
It asks nothing of me but to see and feel
