Out there
perhaps not even far
The distance from now
imagines the other side of is

Why so hard this distance
why so hard the first step towards next
why so easy the step back to was

Ahead it is promise and hope
it is softness and comfort
it is relief and safety
but the distance no matter how close
feels a distance too far

Hope imagines the distance
and wonders and wishes
How to let go of now
