Rope
We are cities
separated by a river.
I will build a boat.
We are countries
separated by war.
I will broker peace.
We are planets
separated by emptiness.
I dream a spaceship.
Centuries come between us.
By faith alone
I will become a man of your time.
Even death can’t come between us,
not against the force of love.
But as it is
only a small chasm
keeps us apart.
A rope can bridge it.
When I throw the rope
will you catch it?
Or will your end
slide into the chasm,
and me with it?
Beautiful and intimate poem.
