Oh The Distance

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Distance comes in many flavors, but they can all taste the same to the human spirit.

Saturday, November 17, 2007


Poem Artwork

Oh the distance...

too many miles between our rivers flow.

Oh the distance...

descending winter overshadowing nature’s paint.

Oh the distance...

the air we breathe separated by earths winds.

Oh the distance...

the race for dreams to finish real.

Oh the distance...

Distance, is sononymous with life [to me]. In our lives there is much to complicate or accentuate the beauty of mankind. How we choose to deal with "reality" will what makes our life a perpetual winter or progression of seasons [growth].

God bless you. Kathy
