So Warm Yet Far Away

When night’s candles wax in the breeze, a glow draws near while loved ones are far... I would scan places dimensions away For in reveries they bask among the skies. So warm with wonder, bright with charm Could I but fix them beneath moon’s hues, Who do not let affections stray through time far beyond all limits of heaven's rails May 2018 Standard Contest of Brian Strand
