I've seen you from a distance,
walking with long lean strides
Time and space bow in rememberance.


Oh how i miss your counternance,
the tears, laughters, the happy sad sides
of you. I've seen you from a distance.


I know i need air as sustenance.
but i would give it up, give it all up to the tides.
Time and space bow in rememberance.


What is a soul? its substance
transformed when atoms collide,
as i, I who've seen you from a distance.


It is much too cruel, this poetic license -
this attempt to describe, provides
no further insights. In the presence


I shall give penance;
for each longing thought abides.
I've seen you from a distance.
Time and space bow in rememberance.
