space

                                                 SPACE


                                                 Walking between trees
                                                 Moving in the space between thoughts
                                                 Snowflakes falling filling the air with white
                                                 Covering the ground like a sheet of blank paper
                                                 Making space for me to write my footsteps
                                                 Listening to the silence between quiet sounds
                                                 Thinking of the space between you and me
                                                 Between your eyes and mine
                                                 Between your lips and mine
                                                 The space between us making touch more beautiful
                                                 Always reaching the distance between snowflakes or stars
                                                 Thinking of the space you filled with me
                                                 And the space you leave beside me
                                                 A space only you can fill
