oceans apart

Published on by thelonelyauthorblog

When I made my move to Florida, my precious friend Maria Elena of A Gypsy at Heart said the words “oceans apart, only a thought away.” The words were so inspiring, I asked her permission to use them in a poem.

Please, follow A Gypsy At Heart. She will introduce you to the people, sights, and scents of the wonderful places she visits giving every destination (Hamburg, Bangkok, Provence, and so many others) their own intriguing personality.

oceans apart

gazing at the vast waters
between us
one consolation keeps me breathing
i can still think of you
for it is
our brief conversations
that fill my bones with hope
igniting a burning passion
in my soul
that no bottomless sea
could ever douse
tonight, like every other night
my heart seeks solace
oceans apart
only a thought away

  14. Beautiful post Drew. I often use the words “across the ocean” when writing to those friends who are miles from me. We really all are just “a thought away”.

          1. Yes, they are wonderful. Apart from when they turn into feral little honey badgers 🤣. I am going to take them to the beach soon. They can be feral little honey badgers outdoors.
