A Very Fine Art

I wish I could reach out to touch you today
But wishes are like clouds, too far away
And I’ve become master of a very fine art
Indulging the company of a lonely heart
I’ll side-step the sorrows I’ve chosen to ignore
And dance with the echo of waves on a shore
In the breathless hush of an opaque sky
As the soft wind croons a lullaby
I’ll touch you with words I share with few
Words like ‘darling’ and ‘I love you’
