awesome strength and power,
leaping mundane duties in a single bound
combating moodiness around him
with quick-witted humor.
loves turns him into gandhi
and gable and atticus finch,
with royalty thrown in, an air of holy
man, some fred astaire and 007.
distance is his kryptonite.
without her to remind him that he's
everything she wants and needs
the metamorphosis to loneliness,
the change of the reflection in
the mirror back to ordinary
man is painful.
(c) Ellen Gillette, 2013
A poem for all those in love who live with long-distance challenges.
