How far is near?
Wheeling towards destiny
yet out of reach invokes merciless heat.
Apart is near
when approach is completed.
Can two pathways cross and yet never meet?
Stars flashing lights are no brighter than ours.
Two planets
arrange to draw closer than this.
Speeding roads
dissipate feeble heart's call.
We know though that fate out-distances all.
"How far is near?" Sometimes it's closer than we think. Carl Jung thought that all chance events were meant to be. But your poem Fay shows how fate can out manouvre us. Excellent poem.
