Embracing

Cherishing each other

once we are separated ~

keeping our distance,

the glow of togetherness dims

and yet

we are told 

to cherish each other

protect each other

not everyone feels

the dimming but 

feels the angst and pull

of being unable to touch

and waiting

but no one is waiting 

because

Breath keeps on breathing

Love keeps on loving

Life keeps on living

while we cherish each other

from the distance of

outstretched arms until 

our arms become an embrace.

“The wait is long, my dream of you does not end.”

~ Nuala O’Faolain, My Dream of You
