A leap of no significance
but to the lonely,
stars would be ignored
and the years
would remain as they are,
stacked in their familiar litany
of transgression against nature;
there’s no hero here.
There is only
this interminable yearning,
a need for acceptance,
faith, love and forgiveness.
Happiness.
And if the minutes and cost
of location and the hours
comprising the debilitating truth
of circumstance could be unfolded,
pierced and shed their daunting presence
around all things,
so this small move
would be made to collect,
selfishly,
the like-minded heart,
placing it near this one
so that they may keep time together.
