under the same sky

absence makes the heart grow fonder
the moon moves through the darkness overhead
oozes with possibilities - if only, if only...
and then underscores the distance
between my heart and that little one so far away
she waits too, unsure and protecting
what she wants to share with me
what she dreams of finding
in my arms
as she has
as she will again
when she's not struggling for each awful breath
when she's not fighting for it all
to find the moon above
to find the comfort that I am to her
to survive the space between
we think of ourselves
not so far apart
not so far from love
under the same sky
