WHERE IS THE DISTANCE?
Where is the distance?
I don’t feel it.
You seem close
As though a hovering hummingbird
In sequence above me
While I dither with doubt
In soliloquy with singularity
Yet realize inside, I am of thee
And no words can separate us
No past images of photos and replicas
No children, or their offspring
No piece of art
No poem
No, not even that great retreat
Across the chasm of time
Can touch us together
One more time
No not even once more
To the beach we rush
Headlong
Into the raging surf
Seeking what?
Can you ask?
Wanting more?
A brother, sister, lover, wife?
Well, we are all one
Aren’t we under this perfect God?
No says the sinister
Yes, says the God-seeker
We are one
You may be it – we are one – no disclaimer
The gospel is a definition
Of our unity, our multipurpose, our destiny 201126.3
