How are you?

There are days when you are close,
but mostly days when you are far.
And sometimes, even the stars
seem to wonder where you are.

This pushing and pulling
due to some odd gravitational force
always leaves me to wonder
if you’ve just gotten off course.

And my soul is forever searching,
looking for a definitive sign,
to show me you’re alright,
in the midst of this decline.

I’m always aching to understand
and know for certain you’re okay,
but it’s difficult to know sometimes
when you’re so far away.

      1. We fly between Southern California and Seattle many times a year with two of our three girls and husbands living up there. Last year we decide to do this drive this fall, but with Covid it made it a little more direct driving with spending nights/eating, etc. All of that said I love the typography throughout the west! thanks for stopping by!
