Trek

More mountain music (for the temporarily departed)

you went away, and
i'll always remember what i imagine
you'll always remember what you see
but at 10,000kms your voice brought me to you,
and the world's gotten smaller, yet stays in between

Your sky flutters with prayer flags,
My desk,
with jigsaw puzzle pieces.

you went away, but
we are together, so far apart
I throw my arms wider to fit it all in
I have four and a quarter hours to get it all right
and the world's gotten smaller, yet stays in between

i've been growing a sympathy beard,
a millimetre each day
since you went away.
