What Distance allows Love

April 11, 2022

who is to know the right distance

the space to leave unfilled

who is to say when love

is consummated

reached its goal

achieved its only purpose

for love is like a sunrise

with its hinting​​ 

and growing

its anticipation

and then it is there

fully present

for love is like a sunset

leaving the sky ever​​ 

so slowly, teasing,

reaching with its

arms of light and color

the most beautiful

just before its gone

leaving us aching with​​ 

the hope that​​ 

love will come again.
