Only as far as a flicker of light
on the dragonfly’s sun-kissed wing
Only as far as the miracle
of flowers that bloom in the spring
Only as far as the ocean waves
as they play upon the shore
Only as far as the sunset
that closes each day’s door
Only as far as your laughter
that echoes in my ear
If only as far as your memory
Far away, is really right here
