FAR

Far

Far is just a word
But, what does it mean
It means beyond our reach
Dim, as in the distance
And somehow like a dream

Far as one can see
As stretching one`s capability
Looking off, far in to space
Digesting all that intercedes
Between the viewer and the horizon

Bring far back to me
Let nations of the world
Come close
Let far be within my reach
And all the world be thee

Far is only whom you love
When thought of as within your sphere
Even those lost above
Or approaching heaven`s shore
Far is just within your arms, or in this hemisphere

I enjoyed this poem. It meant so many things. When I read it I thought of not only far away places, far away times but also people you care about that are not within reach. Thank you for sharing.

This is an interesting write. It is unusual, yet, says so much. Great.
