W. S. Merwin: "Travelling Together"

 

If we are separated, I will

try to wait for you

on your side of things

your side of the wall and the water

and of the light moving at its own speed

even on leaves that we have seen

I will wait on one side

while a side is there



From "The Rain in The Trees" published 1987 by Alfred A. Knopf
