You Are Here...



A few hours of all-together-ness on the weekend sometimes seems to magnify the sharpness of apart-ness...

According to mile-measure, darling
They deem us quite far apart
But, you’re here beneath my ribs, love
Held forever in my heart

Miles may separate our shoulders
From the tender joy of touch
But, I have re-learned how to hold you
So miles won’t hurt quite so much

Oceans are a splash of water
Emotions a dash of tear
Sweetheart, wherever you wander
I know you know, you are here

You are here, beneath my ribs, love
Clasped twixt finger-folded prayer
Never mind mile-measure, darling
You are here while you are there

    1. Can't imagine the apart-ness you are feeling right now! Oh, my dear friend, I send huge hugs and extra prayers for those stretched-to-the-max heartstrings!
