Within, Without

 

It is not the miles which separate us

for your very essence dwells by spirit

within

Connecting mind body and soul to you

daily

 

It is not the great distance of void

which comes between us

For as long as we have been

you preceded

Laying the foundation and groundwork

for our travels and paths

 

It is not the history or ages or numbers before

which cause our waiting

For you penetrate each minute particle

and atom of being

 

It is nothing we know or understand

which keeps us apart

It is our desire or disdain

for giving up a place for you

within our hearts
