Just how close is ...CLOSE
~so near at hand
our eyes overlooked its nearness
in search of distant things...
A dear dream lay-- perchance
to grow in dearness
Had we only felt its wings astir...
The very air our breathing fanned
It was oh so near at hand
Once many days ago
we almost held it
The love we so desired;
But our shut eyes saw it not
and fate dispelled it
Before our pulses fired~ to flame,
and errant fortune bade us
stand...hand almost touching...hand
I sometimes think
had we both been discerning
the by-path hid away
from others' eyes had then revealed
its turning to us, nor led astray
our footsteps guiding us into
love's land
...that lay so near at hand
How close is ....CLOSE
So near at hand, dear heart
could we have known it
from the very start
or even throughout those
dreamy hours
Had either loved, or loving
had we shown it
RESPONSE had sure been ours
for neither of us knew that
heart could heart command
and love so near at hand...
What then availed the brandy's
subtle glisten? V.S.O.P -
Brothers, Christian~
~~We passed it blindly by
And now what profit that we
wait and listen? Each for the
other's heart beat??
The cry of love overlooked still lingers
you and I sought heaven from afar
we did not understand
what once was
so near at hand...
VERY CLOSE
