For some small trace of your presence,
In heart or thought.
I ponder the length and breath of the universe
And how someone so closely knitted into me
can still be so far away.
One galaxy,
one star,
One sky,
one city.
in the ether of none of these things,
I find you.
I feel your longing,
your courage,
to keep me close to your soul,
Only far from your heart
That fraction of distance is enough.

Impossible chasm.

So deep and so far
the only way over it
is on the wings of hope
Mine are grounded.
An ancient injury,
further hindered by new wounds.
No matter how time flows,
how life unfolds,
you're still there
above me
hovering over my soul.

I look up to find heaven,

Just out of reach...
