A POEM A DAY 175

ROCK & STONE

You know it's time to let go when…
The sun doesn’t shine
When he smiles
And the distance between hearts
Is 10,000 miles
Of unpaved rock and stone
When you are together-alone
Sitting side-by-side
And the chasm
That divides
Is 8.8 million fathoms
Of yawning hollow
A gulf, so deep
Dark and dank
That love is sallow
A poisonous rank
