Hand in Hand

Twins walk hand in hand
Down the beach
And through the sand

Together in time
Like the moon
And tide

Twins walk world's apart
Memories of their sibling
Slipping, slipping, slipping

A broken ballet
The moon and tide
Not Together in time

Twins walk down the line
The truth- one can see
And the other is blind

Soon, her children
Who she left behind
Started asking questions
About her life

Saying,

Uncle, Uncle
Where is she?
Uncle, Uncle
Why'd she leave?

Not knowing what to say
Not knowing what to do
All he could say
"I won't leave you too."

And so they stopped
One found a box
Containing a letter
Addressed to her brother

Saying,

"Twins walked hand in hand
One with the stars
And one with the sand.

Together, you and I
The moon and tide.

I'm sorry for leaving,
Please believe me.

Please forgive me,
Don't forget me.

Oh, brother of mine,
This isn't goodbye,
I'll see you again
In due time.

Sincerely, forever,
Your sister who left"

Sincerely, forever
Your sister who left
