So much separates us In ways more profound than miles Profound depths fill the distance With the words unshared with one another I peer at a recent photograph Into the depths beyond the lenses' focal point My vision searches for the essence Of who you are and what is real The antique chair of sturdy oak Perhaps the latest yard-sale find A magazine lying open on the floor By your coffee cup from breakfast (your favorite one with roses) Dried flowers from your garden, hanging upside down On the mantle filled with childhood treasures The little things within your world Tears held back, because I know...

Karen, this is sad and heart rendering...it's sad when we live close with another person and yet, they are like a stranger...we search to find them, but nothing can burst to open their bloom. I found this to be well written and in a voice of searching for an answer.

The realization that love is lost and cannot be recaptured resounds in this poem.
