Description
7,686 Miles To You

There is
a phenomenal
expanse
between our arms.

I had always
been able to
imagine away
the long periods of time
and the longer distances
that you were gone.

I have always
been able to just
blink
and have it all
be over.

Strength is something
that you cannot buy
or steal
or earn
it is something
you must learn.

I can no longer
imagine away
the 7,686 miles
to your arms,
it seems improbable
to think that I could have
even before.

But not to worry,
because there is hope
in the way
that I take comfort
in the stars above,
knowing they are shining down
on you, too.

Google
has become my best friend
where I can scour
endlessly
for pictures of
the sandy dunes
and pleading people.

It helps;
a little.

But mostly...
the fact that
exactly 101 days
remain
on this journey of our souls
where we will stake our claims
and hopes are relived
once again.

So give me hope
and I will try
my hardest
to imagine away
every single one
of those miles
and before I know it...

here you are.
