gazing west

gazing west beyond early light

that breaks into the darkness,

wondering which of these tiny stars

is the one she’ll see above her


my angel sleeps without me there

to hold her close or kiss her awake,

she sleeps in the arms of familiar love 

as I love her from this foreign place


what’s a prayer, a wish, a dream?

none of these can be held in hand,

instead I ache without her near

... a distant heart in a distant man
