Near and Far

How does one
Explain the heart’s lament
that when you were near
I was so far away
And when I am so near
You are far away.

But still there was
No distance then
There is none now.

While I continued to
Build my bridge to you
with my hands
You took a shortcut
With your eyes
To build yours.

But there is no land now
and no vector of space
For we are on the high sea
With waves moving with the wind
Going wherever it takes them.
With wind forever in touch
With the waves underneath it.

This is how it is between us now.
