When souls commune

mere continents

are dismissed by bliss -

distance rendered meaningless.



Hearts transmitting love

know nothing of finite speed -

laughing at lax beams of light,

mocking their velocity.



But bodies, to commune,

must abide by gravity

and mortal dependence

upon physical proximity -



to feel, to stroke, to hold, to hug,

to simply stand beside

- to confirm a truth as old as blood -

that togetherness fortifies.

_



So I bow before the law that allows

our souls to be linked

by less than a breath,



but my earth-bound body longs to be touched

by an ethereal love

it knows nothing of.
