Distance Between Us

the distance between us
is a beautiful landmark of
mutual respect

when i sit alone savoring
the essence of my silence
you be the moon

when you speak your sorrow
to the sea
i shall be the beautiful corals
underneath

there is beauty in the wilderness
of our existence
i am the desert and you shall be
the wind
in the extreme heat of my sands
you shall be the
purple flower at dawn
