In the distance between
The now and
There,
Rises the stair
We all must
Share,
Step by step to
Anywhere
Before the future days
Declare,
The distance we
May finally
Repair.

Stretch above
To where the flapping
Propels you farther
On the breeze.
From there to see
The light retreating
Over Earth’s curve
At day’s reprieve.

“Granpa is no here anymore,” he stated, morose, “he go back to very far.”
The little boy raised impossibly long-lashed honey eyes to me but I didn’t think he was looking at anything in the room. His eyes were seeing through the walls and out to where a presence is not constrained by oceans, mileage, and topography.
His little face was pinched in a sad frown and he fingered the edge of his shirt, before taking in a long breath that seemed to fill not only his lungs but also return the sparkle into his eyes. He pointed a small finger at the center of his chest. Exhaled. Took another breath.
“But Granpa no really faraway,” he declared, the last two words blended into one in a sing-song. “My heart think so he only little closer very far.”
