Of You in Starlight


Thinking of you
beneath the heavens
the word
surfaces slowly.

Unreachable
I wonder.
Is that why god
made the stars?

Something so brilliant
so beauitful
inspiring
that man
could not attain
but aspire to
something
to keep him going
even if truely
they are unreachable.

Sometimes
that's how I feel
when I think of you.
I can look
and admire
and aspire
and adore
and sing
and praise
and write
but know
like the distant stars
I will never hold you.

The humor here
is all the more poignant
if ever
you should realize
that I
am forever
in your reach.
