The Miles In Between

Why are there always miles

The Miles In Between

 

 

A crescent moon now overhead

As I come rising from my bed

Remembering the words I said

A few short hours ago

 

~

Like linens hanging on the line

The clouds a comfort for my eyes

In secrets whispered on the skies

Along with breezes flow

 

~

I wonder of this time apart

As longings cling so tight my heart

In gilded frame like precious art

The sun comes into view

 

~

When then my open eyes can see

The man that I can surely be

If only you would come to me

Whatever I must do

 

~

With endless trees and hills to climb

My aches, my pains on borrowed time

The distant church bells set to chime

The miles in between

 

~

I follow on in destined task

Is it too much for me to ask

Replace the smile, remove the mask

If you know what I mean

 

~

To stumble on the crooked path

And weep these tears of aftermath

For comes the heat of summer wrath

In everything so new

 

~

I wander here and wander there

In hopes to show you that I care

With you my dreams I long to share

Until my days are through

Wonderful narration Jack

With endless trees and hills to climb
My aches, my pains on borrowed time
The distant church bells set to chime
The miles in between

Loved those amazing lines. Mind capturing and really wonderfully explained :)

I could ask the same question you asked, why are there always miles. Very lovely write as usual my dear friend Jack. Have a good morning

Thank you so much Sunshone. Love the new photo.

This dances on the page, and hints of vintage Jack are in your rhyme scheme...I can't pick a stanza I like the best but if I had to...this is the biggest sigh of all.

I follow on in destined task
Is it too much for me to ask
Replace the smile, remove the mask
If you know what I mean

Sigh...love it, just gorgeous Jack!
