Separation Anxiety

(Dedicated to an unknown friend)

Sometimes two halves are worth more than their single whole.

Separation, division; the act is sometimes a form of growth in nature:
Single-cell organisms multiply by becoming two.

De-unification can be a freedom of spirit as well as a civil action;
conjoined twins, years together may become separate identities while retaining their shared memories.

The same is true for families, partners, long-married couples.

Growth continues to happen within the universe even while it keeps on expanding.

One needn’t fight the growth inherent within separation,
even while remembering the wonder and warmth of union.

Splitting up does not denote failure, it is the proof of growth.
