Distant from my sight and touch
Of an essence I don’t understand
Touched every day by such longing
I can no longer stand

Eons ago from a distant past
Lived a woman, so fair and adoring
Along the lake she could touch the sky
Sky up high, yet it was within her reach

She has finally bridged the distance
Like love no matter how ironic it can be
I have believed in all my life
You are here within mine.

I wrote this in my notebook in March 2003 while I was in a moment of longing of someone who will one day I would see in her eyes my reflection of a happy and fulfilled person.
