The Distance Between

by Christine Josep

New York, London, Rome, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney. .
the distance between is extreme
however, distance is relative
it only means something to those that wish to cross it
nothing material can cross that distance
without significant loss in one's own time
some say love can overcome the distance
I say, dependent upon
stamina, dexterity, intelligence, and strength
Those willing to sacrifice
will find the reward beyond the distances
which seem so far away from home
a love so unreal, so undeniably true
the discovery begins in the beyond. .
and in the distance between. .
