PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

For some small trace of your presence,

In heart or thought.

I ponder the length and breath of the universe

And how someone so closely knitted into me

can still be so far away.

One galaxy,

one star,

One sky,

one city.

in the ether of none of these things,

I find you.

I feel your longing,

your courage,

to keep me close to your soul,

Only far from your heart

That fraction of distance is enough.

Impossible chasm.

So deep and so far

the only way over it

is on the wings of hope

Mine are grounded.

An ancient injury,

further hindered by new wounds.

No matter how time flows,

how life unfolds,

you're still there

above me

hovering over my soul.

I look up to find heaven,

Just out of reach...
