Across the Sea

Distance blurs reality,
So vast are that oceans that part us.
Veiled in fog and smoky dreams
Your voice, its lilting melody,
Has disappeared from these shadowy skies.
The vision of your angelic face
No longer graces this land
Yet your words, elegant and free,
That drape across an unassuming page
Cower not beneath mysticism or deception.
The soul is not bound
To the worldly measure of distance and time.
Our union in the world of mortals
Has been eclipsed by that of our hearts.
Time, for all its tricks and games,
Will bring us together again.
And lost in an enduring moment
Of unchanging, unhidden love
We will find peace.
