The Space Fills Up

Many people find it difficult to communicate, especially with loved ones. If time and effort isn't made, the gap between people can widen and seem an insurmountable obstacle. 

                      the space fills up 
                 (a bridge can be built)

                                  As
                          the silence
                      grows over time 
                  and the space fills up
        with nothing to say to each other 
                  we need to stand still 
                        and slow down
                          to touch base
                                again

                                   A
                              bridge 
                          can be built 
                    between our souls 
        if we are prepared to make every 
                 effort to communicate 
                         with love and
                           gentleness 
                               as one
