To be defined by the edge of
a hand.

To reach...

And find only distance reaching
back.

Until there is no difference.

Not even an edge
remains.

How far
can the reach go
when accompanied
by a thought?

Oh, now you've got me thinking, you have!

My goodness, Eric, you do make me think with this one.  I see you had the same effect on Sunshine.

Wonderful thinker of a poem.

Well, you made me think, too, with this one.

Sometimes a couple is closer in distance than
some who are standing right in front of each
other....and still can't reach the other. Right?

Chewing, Chewing, Chewing...

My literal self thought of a blind person at first (I'm so honest, regardless of how it makes me seem simple!)...

Then, I thought about the personal challenges in my own life in which these words strike a familiar tone...

very good, dear!

Ahhh.. this, a sacred, beautiful breath of passion and life itself. It fills my mind as does fresh air fills my lungs.  How delicious, this experience...

What sensual magic you weave with words.

Thank you for sharing your gentle, poetic brilliance.

I love you,

When distance meets distance there is total fusion ..... this is what your wondrous words suggest to me, dear Eric.

I love you. Margherita

my first feeling on this was incredible loneliness....

I'll keep pondering it though :-)

Dearest One...

You describe infinity so incredibly deliciously...as only you can. Sensual, delicate, thoughtful...you.

Thank you...as always, it's a privilege.

Love and Light...jc
