The void distance leaves
<p><br/></p><p>Distance is not measured in miles alone;</p><p>it is the quiet that settles</p><p>after the last "goodnight,"</p><p>the empty chair that remembers</p><p>a body no longer present.</p><p><br/></p><p>It is a bridge built from memories,</p><p>stretching farther than hands can reach,</p><p>where echoes arrive</p><p>long after voices have faded.</p><p><br/></p><p>The heart learns funny mathematics:</p><p>every step away</p><p>multiplies the weight of absence,</p><p>yet subtracts nothing</p><p>of what was once shared.</p><p><br/></p><p>There are nights</p><p>when the moon seems close enough to feel,</p><p>but you remain</p><p>on the far side of tomorrow,</p><p>hidden behind hours and horizons.</p><p><br/></p><p>Still, hope is stubborn.</p><p>It gathers scattered moments</p><p>like seashells after the tide,</p><p>believing every wave</p><p>is practicing the journey home.</p><p><br/></p><p>Perhaps that is the secret of distance:</p><p>it leaves a void,</p><p>but never an ending.</p><p>For love, like light,</p><p>crosses impossible spaces—</p><p>arriving quietly,</p><p>long after darkness has declared victory.</p>
