Across the Miles

Tears fall

into the softness of the

Void

where you once held

my heart so gentle

how many words

Spanned the distance

bringing an

Unknown

light to a battered and beaten

Soul

finally shattered

too many

years

in

the human condition

I knew the feeling of being

complete

when you embraced me

across the miles

today there are

violent seas

roiling my guts

as I try to hold onto

the only truth I have ever known

which is

You
