You are as far as the river,
Flowing softly but violently in a place far away,
And I am as far as the hand reaching out
To give strength, courage, guidance, and hope.
You are as far as the feet
That walk along the cool, damp grass at twilight,
Feeling the soft dirt squish and find its way between the toes.
And I am as far as the girl
Far across the earth,
As the sun rises,
Wishing that she were somewhere else.
You are as far as the room
Where many wondrous thoughts and things are,
But never show themselves.
And I am as far as the place full of life,
Where everything finally reveals itself…
