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... 3/20/19
