You and I

You and I with arms outstretched
A river of flame between
You and I with gazes fixed
Glass wall stands unseen.
You and I twin river banks
running from mount to sea
You and I ever apart
Never to be we.

You and I with bleeding feet
walk on field of thorns
You and I banging heads
Till both heads spout horns.
You and I uprooted trees
No earth on which to stand
You and I forging paths
To create our new brand.
