Distance
is a long walk in the sunshine
that takes you away from familiar terrain
and familiar heartaches
Distance
seeks the unfamiliar
that is new to your heart
but unconsciously known
bridging the gap
is taking rocks and tools
into your own hands
to build solid paths
through wilderness
in a dream I saw a statue of Mary
made of stone, in a forest
and she saved me
from an endless journey
of longing
I met her again
years later
Dreams come true!
A kiss is an endless poem
that fills the air with words
outwith space and time
two mouths speaking together
in rhymes of patience
in stanzas of devotion
Transience loses its relevance
in the here and now
and the only thing that matters
is sincerity … and faith!
