“Can you see the moon?”, he asked her
in his languid Southern drawl
“I’m in your night’s tomorrow”, she replied
“And there is no moon at all”
The miles were bridged by wires
His voice seemed right next door
Still it made her wish for just a little more…

She poured a cup of coffee
While he poured out some wine
No lull in conversation broke the spell
And it felt so very fine
To hear each other’s voices
Though they were worlds apart
And talking brought some joy into each heart…

“It’s time to go”, he told her
“But I wish that I could stay
There’s just so much that I need to know
So much I want to say”
“Next time it’s me that’s calling”
She insisted, he gave in
They said goodbyes, and hung up more than friends…

Her day was filled with sunshine
His night was filled with dreams
It goes to show that nothing is impossible
Never like it seems
All distance can be conquered
It’s miles upon some map
To every heart with deep desire
There’s ways to bridge the gap!

Sunny
A cyber romance perhaps?
Love the lyrical quality of these words, and of course the visuals they imbue.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sunnyone, you are so right, sweet friend, it just didn't work for me, as I know Joanna truly loved me when we used to be so close even in long-distance romance, then she said on New Years Day she never loved me when she really did write me love poems and send me love cards, and broke my heart! (sad sigh) I'm just happy that others are more fortunate and hope those relationships work out, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunnyone, thank you for sharing!



May love and light awlays shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh Sunny, this is so true. I know that you know it is, too.
"All distance can be conquered"....oh yes, if both want it
to be bad enough, and if there's enough love in
their hearts for each other.

I'm going to keep this, my friend, since I relate
to it so much. I hope that you don't mind?
Hugs to you and your hubby

Hi Janette, and I don't want to mislead anyone here, as this scenario has close similarities to my real life story...(except my husband has an English accent!!!)I'm afraid I'm the one with the drawl!! LOL!! Thank you...~S~

Hi Ethel, and I'm honoured that you would keep my work!!  Thank you so much, and it's nice to be able to share with you, as your name is in my library here also!!!!  ~S~

Hi Lisann, and it really is true, as I am living proof that distance can be put aside if you want to bad enough...thank you so much!   ~S~
