A DISTANT CURE

 

It was within my touching distance

That ray of light powerful and wide

Bathed vivid was the environ in it

Only I kept my arms unmoving by my side

 

Something within me stopped from soaking

Though it felt so very right

So I let myself revel and savour it

But didn’t embrace it to me tight

 

For, always lingered behind my eyes

A question about its source

Perhaps it would remain for an eternity

Perhaps it was simply a transient force

 

And then finally opened I wide my eyes

To accept that because it was pure,

That ray was not mine to hold or keep

But merely so from a distance I may cure….
