I believe
trees around me quivered
when I stepped out
to go back, and
head east toward you.
Moving against acceptable grain,
to land of rising sun...
no matter how far our distance,
I felt Earth's core pull me,
align energies of our collective nuclei
to revolve around each other..
transpose into foggy clouds
the face calling me with
your voice,
sent shivers through me with
your breath
it danced, slid, kissed
on blistered skin.
I wanted to keep for mementos
each lonely mile,
every second that stretched
while wearied feet propelled me.
And my heart can be heard:
clangs banging in an empty cage
against space of real time,
where you
hover above me
in air of indigo blue skies...
...and somehow I made it
across stretched space,
and that smile in your eyes told me
how very glad you were
that I'd made it
after all.
