"Half a World Away "
Half a world away, she stares through the screened personalities, with eyes the color of the Pacific, wading in the entwined web, wondering if this masked world can hold some sense of truth for her.
Half a world away, he shuffles endlessly, casual in his efforts, reluctant to depart from the surf, sinking into his enthralled thoughts of this verbose, yet vacant palace.
Until arises a tide and by fate alone the two blue waves collide into one white withdrawing unity; however, the sounds they make are not quite the same. Hers holds a sweeter darkened tone, while his sighs in subtle oddities. So strange the current made that a unique bond is formed.
Now gently swayed backwards the two are pulled within the vastness of the oceans. There they dance about the Earth, glimmering and reflecting laughter from one to the other, sparkling infinitely among the twilight.
From half a world away they have drifted into each other. Unaware that they were only broken halves, up until this inevitable moment that has brought them together. ….each from, half a world away.
