In the Distance

In the distance, I see your smile
               The clouds in their infinite beauty
Acquiesce
And send you to me

In the distance, I hear your voice
                 The breeze in its merciful caress
Confesses
That you miss me too

In the distance, as the rains fall
            You’ll know that these are my tears
Professing
How I long for you

In the distance, that lay between us
            I won’t rest until I am touching you
Embracing
As it’s meant to be
