Far

As Britany is a fellow-poet with Poetic Asides, she keeps in their tradition of Two for Tuesday’s. I decided to use both, as they are inseparable.

28 to Create, Day 4 – Near/Far

***
So far away
is desire
So near –
despair
I can’t help but
pair
those two.

Inalienable
like the pursuit of happiness.

Infinity is mingled in a knot
lurking on the bottom of my ocean
biding its hour

Not far from this moment
not too remote from
this rocking boat.

When has misery shied from its beloved?
