Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

So Warm Yet Far Away

When night’s candles
 wax in the breeze,
a glow draws near while loved ones are far...
I would scan places dimensions away 
For in reveries
they bask among the skies.

So warm with wonder, bright with charm
Could I but fix them 
beneath moon’s hues, 
Who do not let affections stray through time
far beyond all limits of heaven's rails
