Different Measures
I swear it must have been
while laying
there in the dark like that,
just listening to her breathing ..
Maybe an inch
or so out of reach perhaps ..
Yet by no means more
than a single outstretched
arm away ..
When it dawned on me that
time and distance
were both quite distinctly
different measures
and I realised before then ..
Everything else
had been nothing but a sham ..
and I would likely be
content to lay there waiting
for cancer ..
Or indeed, another magnificent
heart attack before
finally being prised away from her ..

All those "different times" and "distant" places become "shams" as we age and face the end of reality Very powerful words well-spoken and laden with wisdom." Loved it. - Phil A.
Thanks a million Phil so much appreciated .. Neville
Time and distance are quite different in a Newtonian world, aren't they....But what of beyond? I'm well on my way to personally find out.....perhaps!!!
Neva wish your distance away Dave ........ ever
Times and distances are all relative Neville and in reality we can chose to be close,

Maybe, but there are an awful lot of variables to consider .. Neville
Well penned N. Time, distance and love may well heal the heart, but none the less lonely. 🌹
