Books-Poetry: Reconnecting With Life

Immeasurable Distance Between Us from Volume 2 — Personal Observations

Once I could say
The immeasurable distance between is the only space that separates us
But now that space does separate us
A place you found to fill with all sorts of neurosis
Now displaces the immeasurable space meant for us
Until the space became an impassable divide

Then I began to wonder while you wandered
What tomorrow would bring
But not knowing the future
Or what is on your mind
Served to widen this space between us
Creating a crevice
Which became a divide too deep and too wide to fathom

While one disappeared
Each failed to realize
What is missing?

Till two people who were trying to make a life together are no more
The time spent building is no longer salvageable
All because each did not hold the key to close the divide
For how can you reach someone?
When they are too far away for your hands to touch
Or for your voice to reach

Now the person with whom you invested your life to build a life
Is no longer to be found
Shout all you want!
No one can hear you
Because the divide is too much for sound to travel

Till moment by moment
The impassible space that separates has become the foundation for a wasteland
Where all traces of humanity have been erased

As the transition moves
From out of touch to out of reach
What does the horizon hold?

We wait the answer
Counting the moments
Till time fades into the future

As we move forward in separate directions with separate lives
All we can do is watch as the immeasurable distance between us
Has become a distance too great to travel
Back to the other

Volume 2 — Personal Observations.

A micro-level approach is used to comment on human actions, values, interactions or situations. I unmask a world that is stuffed with complacency, repetition or lost priorities. My hope is to provide a venue where readers can reflect upon my words and have a better understanding of the challenges people face.
