The distance between us...

The distance between us...

A Poem by Jamestown
"

Spiritual and uplifting...

"
In the distance, I see your shadow, so unique and definitely one of a kind.
From a distance, I hear your voice, so sweet I can almost taste it.
From a distance, I can feel your love beaming rays of warmth, as if you are one with the sun.
From a distance, I take in the wonderful aroma of you, that fills my nose.
From a distance, I yell at the top of my lungs in all directions, longing for a reply.
From a distance, I wait patient and with a humble heart.
In the distance, l view the marshmallow clouds come over the mountains and with them they bring a slight chill and drizzle.
In the distance, l watch the soft clouds disappear and a full moon takes to the sky.
In the distance, I catch a glimpse of beautiful shooting star.

As I gaze up towards the heavens, I am wondering if you are trying to communicate with me and at that very moment, I realize, you are not distant at all...

The distance between us, is ultimately up to me!

Author's Note

Jamestown
All glory belongs to God and the distance between us is ultimately our choice.
Draw near him and he will draw near you, PTL!!!

I love the feeling of frustration and desperation in this line:
'I yell at the top of my lungs in all directions, longing for a reply.'
Then in the end the realisation and acceptance of one's own role and responsibility to be open in order to find what we seek - in this case God!
'The distance between us, is ultimately up to me!'

Beautiful :)

Jamestown,
"The Distance between us"
You know the out of doors is just so vast and amazing! Many times we are flabbergasted at it. This poem really lays out how it is a signal of God's love for us. Nature is our perfect home. I found the idea of "from a distance I can hear your voice so sweet I can almost taste it." This is the voice that we recognize as God's.
"As I gaze up into heaven I realize you are trying communicate with me...You are not distant at all."
This is the wonderful truth now..."the distance between us , is ultimately up to me!
A good thought provoking piece. thanks so much for writing it. Blessings, kathy

You bring it all together with your words in the last line. Every thing is just as far away from us as we allow it to be.. Valentine

Oh james this is spiritually beautiful :) Nature is my church, so to speak, and God is the consciousness of it all. A grateful heart is praise :)

Such distance cannot be measured in miles. It's like time, both are devices of man, both of no importance to our creator.

Beautifully written and so true last last line. Beccy.

This is an amazing write on faith! Truly faith can reduce the gap between our desires and the object we lust for.
