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

and then the moon....*) lovely words
really like how it flows with the reading every stanza reads as if a question like hidden questions...
like- replace the smile, remove the mask
if you know what I mean.....reads like it is written to some one specific
honestly makes me think of a decoder ring...decoding Jack
thank you fine sir

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Holly. If you ever find that decoder ring let me know, sometimes I can't even decode myself, it might come in handy. :)

A very clever piece about perspective and like your use of descriptions throughout, great writing Jack!
