    Seems So Far Away

    Seems So Far Away

     

    From the balcony of my loneliness

    The lovely lady I espied

    Bringing to my heart angst and restlessness

    As I fought confusion and pride

     

    Confusion as to why she affected me

    So rapidly in such a way

    As to flood my being with anxiety

    Of having her to call mine someday

     

    Upon meeting her to my chagrin

    Winning her heart would be complicated

    Nevertheless my love quest I did begin

    Which left me more than not frustrated

     

    But the vision of the prize

    I felt awaited, when all was done

    Fueled my imagination to fantasize

    Of happy times with this lovely one

     

    But as Mother Nature and Father Time

    Their cruel joke continued to play

    Day after day I continue to find

    Loving her seems so far away

     

    H. Wilson

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
