THE DISTANCE
THE DISTANCE
(T. Beechey)
The very same sun which shines intense upon all I've considered familiar and seen
From the very small to the quite immense and everything else in between
Also shines forth from ray to ray upon each place that you have known
Therefore I guess,you could say the distance from me to you is shown
The very same moon which clears the haze from each step my journeys consist
In glows which slowly fades to gray any fog or shadow within my midst
In turn illuminates your paths wherever you find yourself to be
Therefore,I guess,that subtracts the distance that lies from you to me
You can't measure distance from heart to heart
You can't measure distance from soul to soul
Where does one end? Where does one start?
Because,over time,they become a whole
Joined as one to forever remain
No ruler could ever truly measure
That which is forged through pleasure and pain
The distance between truth and treasure
The very same stars which twinkle above in patterns no artist could conceive
By designs no painter ever dreamed of,through a fabric only God could weave
Twinkle in random syncopation over your world and all you find
Therefore,I guess,it's a realization: the distance between is a state of mind
The very same God whch created it all and keeps me always within His Sight
Lifting me up each time I fall and turning each wrong into a right
The very same God watches you still and caresses you with his Gentle Touch
The distance between has dwindled to nil because I love you so very much
