Outside
Beyond any words
Seeing me you give
That unusually
Happy smile
And wave a hand
As you pass by

Women seem
For reasons
All their own
To defy what men
Consider wisdom
Born of time—
As if no matter
How many winters
Have come and gone
It’s always spring

So I no longer know
What to make of you
Venus Juno
Or secret virago
Yet at this distance
What can be the harm

The grass is green
The city streets’ lilacs
Are in bloom

I notice silently once again
You’ve changed the color
Of your hair

"Yet at this distance
What can be the harm"

...I think the answer is in the asking...my humble opinion is yes, there can be harm at any distance (and perhaps more harm in the greater distance)

When you just surrender to what is you spill beauty.

Love,
