in the distance

chasin’ comfort

every second and every minute

with you standin’ there

waitin’ for me

always in the distance

no matter the consequences

or inclement weather

when I became a lost thing

missin’ you, I have become

what others long for

and as I am missed in the world

you are my antidote

to all sorrow

happened to me recently

and multiplied by others

deeds and words overflowed

from a cup that is too full already

containin’

the whole truth

far-flung from comfort

yet by you

everythin’ changes

and that bitter vinegar

metamorphoses

into beluga caviar and champagne

celebratin’

autumn transformation

in a state of liberation

of all my senses

finally findin’ firth

free from harm

hopefully in your arms
