(know that they loved you) <br /> <br />Our history closely <br />Mirrors the shape of our clay <br />Both, reclusive and introverts <br />Each secreted in distant and <br />Separate island sanctuary <br /> <br />You ditched out before me <br />Or maybe I did, before you… <br />No matter, we rarely venture back <br />As if our hearts were ex-patriots of city-self <br />Besides, they believed we had found paradise <br /> <br />But, did they not direct our paths? <br />I know they were our glue <br />They too, were reclusive and, still <br />We loved them beyond belief <br />Yet, they also, lived apart… <br /> <br />(Hugging-Cedars Island, Tennessee <br />July 17,2006)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-and-i-75/
