Near/Far

Near my heart
Far from home
Near my love
Far from loved ones
Near the edge
Far from safe
Near to pain
Far from joy
Near the water
Far from sky
Near the rocks
Far from soaring
Near to chaos
Far from order
Near the chasm
Far from a bridge
Near the waves
Far from shore
Near to tears
Far from laughter
Near to empty
Far from full
Near the fire
Far from warm
Near the void
Far from God
