Walking Beyond Her Reach

 

A glimpse of sadness
In her eyes,
In her gestures,
In her smile.
 
I step away,
Hands slipping from hers.
Air filling the space between our bodies.
Her head bowing towards the ground.
 
A touch of emptiness..
In her silence,
In her heart, 
In her soul.
 
My fingers caress her cheek,
. remembering meeting her.
Was so many years, years ago.
 
 
A look of loneliness 
In her grin,
In her movements,
In her being.
 
I turn away,
Walking beyond her reach.

How sad it is that the years,

How sad it is that the years, instead of binding us more closely together, seem often to create increasing distance between us. Sad words, Sanctus.


Smile.. it is the cheapest facelift.
