Lifetimes and forevers Both seem to have no end Indeterminate of time Until... Space comes into play Distance of the body leads to Distance of the mind but never Distance of the heart and yet I'm afraid. Are you like a comet? Flaring and intense Visible and close But only once in my lifetime Twice if I'm extremely fortunate Should I, can I, will I Pour forever into this single encounter In case there are no more?
Reason for writing:
In January, I was fortunate enough to meet my best friend for the first time face to face. He came to visit me for a week. This poem is a catalogue of the thoughts and feelings I had as I watched his plane land. Reference the poem Dear Friend for the thoughts and feelings I had as I watched his plane take off.
