Distance
Mere dimension
Useful for walls and fields,
Safety from snakes and high voltage,
The true Idiot's Tale, empty and bland.
Love doesn't bother to span it.
Love ignores such simple
Dimensions, mere
Distance

Interesting thoughts, but cannot love span distance?  Oh do you mean love knows no distance and thus it matters not?  Love the safety from snakes and high voltage -- distance is very very good.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

"Love doesn't bother to span it."

Perhaps because love doesn't need to span it?  I'm confused by that one line, for it seems to me that love does just that.

Love doesn't bother to span it.

This does seem to be the focus... both for the eye and the mind... Perhaps love doesn't bother because if there's really love, there is no distance... none that matters anyway. *S*

Wonderful mirror images of your first and last lines... much to ponder here! *S*
