Closer.

Everything is closer here.
The sky.
The clouds.
The moon.
The stars.
The mountains.
The ocean.

I look up.
And can imagine
reaching up.
Taking hold.
Cupping it
in my grasp.
Holding it
for time and all eternity.
It is all
so close.

Everything.
but those whom I miss most.
Thousands of miles away
and across an ocean.

i miss you.
