Longing Distance

 


An earthbound grain of sand in the vast cosmic expanse

 

A child’s hunger in a dark night

 

Andromeda strains the naked eye

 

The Syrian soldier ten years in prison

 

A mustard seed planted near a towering redwood

 

A weed that creeps through the crack in the sidewalk

 

Spring edging the snowbanks of winter

 

A dog waiting for the return of its master

 

Voyager beeping signals into interstellar space

 

These yearnings span vast distances

in the enigmatic web of life.
