Steadfastly Present....



Never far beyond beckoning or neediness,
A dreamy constancy unites any separation.
Pondering about the coldness of partition,
And that ultimate first touch of unification.
Bonded and held tightly in certain phrases,
Sentiments travel well in a silent transcript.
Each line absorbed as moments of hugging,
Words whisper from their textual placement.
Distance may be a geographical location at times,
Yet intentions remain steadfast in their presence.

  1. Despite distance, closeness can remain constant. Words can always decrease the distance and remind of intentions! Another remarkable poem, Eileen!

  2. I like the idea of words whispering 'from their textual placement'. I am convinced they can reduce distance and time.

  3. Distance can truly work two ways - strengthening bonds or showing the cracks. Loved this, Eileen!

  7. So many directions this can take. In the past you heard of relationships that were only connected through words. Now days with the internet some relationships are just that a web of words.
    No matter: I think the word used to unite and bind no matter the distance is preferred.

  8. Words can most certainly bring closeness, what a great piece of writing. I hope you have a terrific Tuesday :)
