[hometext] => This poem was written by a friend of mine and altered by myself. Don't worry, I had permission.
[bodytext] => Across the distance I notice the look on his face Outwardly sweet, inwardly strained Hiding all the terrors of his past And the burden of the future Sorrows real and imagined clinging To the recesses of his soul Across the distance I want to reach for him Lovingly supportive, fearlessly strong Providing a flicker of hope And a haven from the storm My love would be the protection Against the encroaching darkness Across the distance A chasm separates us Endlessly wide, forever deep Gathering our insecurities And throwing them into the abyss Both too unsure to make a stand Against the encroaching sadness Across the distance I will wait no more Painfully fragile, tearfully short Flickering like a spent flame And dying with the slightest wind Life is too precious to hold back All the feelings I have for him. Across the distance I notice his eyes on me Quietly assessing, never judging Piecing together the fragments of my heart And all the things I cannot voice Knowing my mind and unable to respond To the desire of my soul. I begin to move Slightly unsure, gaining confidence Moving with a determined purpose And knowing love will bridge the void My heart I bare and show to him All the hopes I have inside. And across the distance, I notice the smile on his lips Sweetly lighthearted, tenderly sincere Answering the quiet call of my spirit And letting go of the ties that bind His heart sings to me and reaches out Uniting us through eternity.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
