The distance gained from leaving
can be measured only in the manner of speaking.
Like two lovers long separated
by miles of highways and thoughts unrelated
can talk again, unaware of time passing,
in tones of joy and spirits contented.
Or friends who, quickly and easily bonded
by an uncommon way of thinking,
will resume a conversation
regardless of those around them.
Within the souls of love wrought minds,
Time and Space lose all meaning.
In thoughtful absence we find
new emotions with the range unbounded
and kindred spirits who never mind
what the other is currently seeming.
For the friendship that definitively binds
people together cannot be grounded
by anything ‘cept that which reminds
we have but this Life to fill with profound meaning.
