Distance Is the River She Could Not Cross

The very essence of reality
Pricked the man's four chambered pump
Today he became a dumbfounded child
Taken aback by the simple reply
He was brought back to the ground 
From the fanciful flight of his own little dream
She said"Distance is the river I cannot cross"
These simple words drowned the pictured life
His whole self was shaken to the core
That river lost him all
Trying to recuperate
And
Introspecting the things he said and heard today
He now asks" Why can't my dream be my reality?"

Wonderful write..I would stop at "The river lost him all." The last 3 lines are obvious. I am having a contest to HIGHLIGHT poets from outside the USA called Foreign Exchange, please add your talent to the writes. Place your best poem & on the bottom put the country where you now live.
