How far is near? Wheeling towards destiny
Yet out of reach, invokes merciless hurt.
Apart is near when approach is completed.
Can two pathways cross and yet never meet?
Stars flashing lights are no brighter than ours.
And planets arrange to draw closer than this.
Speeding roads dissipate feeble heart's call.
We know though, - fate out-distances all.
