A poem about love and death by David Tombale: Separated

Death at times has been the only thing to separate some couples but the idea of love living on after death intrigues me and inspired me to write Separated in attempt to try to explore that concept.

Separated

Every evening passes in the careless whisper
of a departing train, my head laid against
the cold glazed glass and I find that my mornings
are dreaming of you, some faint remain of
love sleeps on inside me, slumbering like a
mindless kitten lost to the sounds of winter,
the crackling of falling ice and snow,
I have travelled too far without you,
even now I linger on the sights that flap like sails
behind me and I will not find you, yet dare I try?
Dare I seek you out amongst the crowds?
My wisdom has failed to let me know but some years from now
when I am one with wind and cloud perhaps we shall join
together, one with you and one with all and never
again be separated.
