If heaven was a mile away

by Dancing Rivers   Jan 11, 2016


If heaven was a mile away-
Or joy was more than a coy display-
If honesty was a breath of air
And love was more than a dare...

If hope could be a lonely chord
Played upon the pianoforte
or sorrow were a tainted window
through which your heart glowed

What bliss could be found here
in this place far yet near,
If you were an ocean's drop
Or a drop's ocean set aprop

The highest realms of introspection
What would you find upon reflection
Of your deepest core?

All these thoughts I do implore.

      Yay thank you so much ben, I've actually become far too accustomed to seeing your lovely comments on my works, sort of a great expectations rerun haha, but it is much appreciated, and quite an honor to have so loyal a follower.

      Take care and hope all is well.

      Hazel.
