The Distance Between Us
My life,
My blood,
My spirit –
All flow within you.
Not just today,
Or yesterday,
Or eons before,
But always.
Through this life,
Or the next,
You will always
Know and feel my presence
Beside you,
Inside you,
To guide you.
My strength
Will rise inside you
When you are weak,
When you are afraid,
When you are in doubt
Of your own self.
You cannot travel
To any plain
That I cannot
See you,
Feel you,
Wrap my love around you.
You will feel my presence
In a familiar song,
In an old phrase you’ve heard me utter,
In an air of gardenia that I once wore.
Through life and death,
Or heaven’s domain,
I will always
Be a part of you,
And you a part of me.
I will always be beside you,
Inside you,
To guide you
In this life
And the next…
