this is only the distance

from here to there,
and all around where men breathe air:
is something lost between those of us,
who love,
for we share a bond,
a common ground,
on which we can all lament the
evil and the hate and the famine
and the things that keep us from
here to there:

for love, this is only the distance that we share,
untill we have no common ground,
there can only be,
distance.
