The Great Divide

Between what I want

And what you want from me

I see a great divide.

When you walk away

Into the world

Under the skies

The handsome sun

Looks down unto you

And smiles.

When I walk away

Into the woods

Along the roads

The broken twigs

Look up to me

And cry.

When you sit alone

Thinking of things

That made you sad

Someone to share with

A special someone

Is always there.

When I sit alone

Reminiscing all afternoon

Noone comes along

Just memories

And musings of the heart.

Between what you feel

And what I feel

I see a great divide.

You know this night

And the moonlight

You dance through it

Like a ready kite

A happy world

And that is all.

I know this night

I feel its breeze

But when i walk through it

I feel no ease

All I hear

Is a distant call.

You love to live

I live to live

And that is where I see

Our paths apart

Our hearts apart.

The world is yours

The earth is mine

The flowers are yours

Dewdrops are mine

The moon is yours

But the night is mine.

Between where I am

And where you are

I see a great divide.
