With eyes closed...I feel your
world against me -
Even in the distance of a
thousand worlds
away.


~

And distance is truly an illusion of
sight and mind.
I am no farther then a reach of
arms and closer still I am drawn
against you in a breath of
carried air.
There is no place where
you leave off and I begin -
we are as the tree and sky and the crush of space
between them.
We are the spread of branches held
against a welcome
air.


We are..even in the distance thought
between us.

A never ending dance of the souls aware of their oneness.

Wonderful, dear Eric!
