Embrace

If I never touch your face or run my fingers through your hair; let my words be my warm embrace. 

To remind you I am always there; in the brightness of the day's sun, in the twilight moon, you seek. 

In the stillness of long lonely nights_ look for me; within the wisp of an unseen sight. 

I am the tickle in your spine, the soft wind that brushes against your cheek. 

I am the voice without sound, heard throughout the world-renown. 

So listen "for" my lyrics spoken between the tick and the tock. Take heed my-words and do not mock. 

My waters do not run from any earthly spring. So drink of me as I flow through your veins, and never thirst again. 

My fruit need not teeth to eat nor tongue to swallow. So taste of me and be nourished, and make strong your heart. 

Though we are separated we are not apart. For wherever your travels take thee... my feet are there to follow. 

"cometh nigh apace ere song sparrows sigh"

I humbly appreciate you Warren Doll. Yes, there can be long distance romance. "Love from afar" for it is not always physical when it's born and bred out of the spiritually transcendent heart.
