-- A Different Kind of Nearness -- John Herlihy I have never seen her face Not in person or in shadows I have never heard her voice Tinkling as soft wind chimes I have never felt her moods Flow through my inner waters I never smelled her perfumes Waft through my inner rooms I have never felt her touch Settle as dawn dew on my eyelids I have never tasted her essence As a gentle kiss from her ruby lips A different nearness draws still A full moon on my windowsill - - - - - - I (c) John Herlihy 10 July 2020
