On a Boat Far Away
You're on a boat
Far
Away
Past the water flowing beneath, and its constant companion, the grandeur of the surrounding canyon
Past the beautiful lands, towns, warmth and
People
Past the vastness of both star and ocean, home and way of life.
They say,
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
I disagree.
Far
Away
Past remembrance of a moment and the capacity of the mind
The mind forgets...
Past the ability of human connection sparked through the power of a smile
Far
Away
Distance makes the heart grow stronger, they say
How is that so when there will be no way or time for it to grow?
Stuck, kept, to hold only the snow
Not enough time...
I wish to understand, to know who you are, to grow a connection through the spark of our smiles and laughter, to...
But you're on a boat
Far.
Far.
Away...
