From a Distance
Dusk fades again…must I entreat.
As glimpses peer over the sea;
Past borders of uncertainty.
Where love's yearning becomes a feat .
The minutes change to waves and rhyme
Nights follow his prints…sand aflame;
This trace I feel from whither came
My destiny on edge of time:
A breath; a sigh, I turn alone
A whisper blows as moments freeze--
The distant shores, a fleeting breeze
My prayers dull like hardened stone:
One rowboat tugs along the quay
Yet his image through mist unseen...
Until he calls behind moon's sheen
Our faith affirmed from heaven's ray.
