Spaces

"Let there be spaces in your togetherness", wrote Gibran
And as I look at the rising horizon, I remember
That you are looking at the languid stars
So very far from where I am
And that our space is so very wide
Wide in fact, as the greatest ocean,
And as the poet wrote, the moving sea between our souls.
But it's moving still, and perhaps one day, our waves will join
And our smiles mingle together, as do the stars we watch.
