Miles Away...

Today is one of those days -

learning to be alone

when alone is not fair or friendly.

Miles seperate me

from all that I want or long for, save one.

Miles away is love's sweet kiss.

Miles away is freedom's bliss.

Miles away is so different than "This."

     This is all I have

     This is all I am

     Because "This" is where I am, today.

Will I be happy here in "This" place?

Happier now compared to miles away?

Not today...

It is written,

"It is not good for man to be alone"

I agree whole heartedly

     from many many miles away

     where love's arrow, well aimed,

     still has a way of finding me

     each and everyday.

Interesting how as I ponder "This"

I've been stung by a bee!

And I was under the assumption

     I was alone today

     under this damn tree

Still miles and miles away

     from all that I long for, save one.
