Forgiven Pain of Distance

Words full of meaning

even full of love

can't substitute

a blink of friendly eyes

or a touch of your hand



Words giving nearness of thoughts -

even feelings

worthily symbols of fullness

transmitting satisfaction and comfort

but never can gain completion



Words are seeking

to grasp sense of nearness

to embrace ones wholeness

arms reaching into empty space

but my heart turns back to itself



Can I find the magic word

which ends all longing

gives peace to my mind

and smoothens my feelings?

It seems so near and is so far



By expressing myself -

empty spaces are filled

glimpses of joy and nearness

magic coloured encounter

with my muse and my self
