Each and Other

Each and Other


We comfort each other,
hiding the uncertainties of tomorrow
in each others shelter,
returning to our busy lives -
our approaching departure.

Each trying
to capture moments with friends
that exit our stage
leaving us wanting,
to look through options
without delivering finality.

We sift through each others presence,
finding the assurance of now,
the silence of our chaos
and rest
for days that have yet to come.
