Love Is Far So Far Away Poem by James McLain

I spoke words unspoken, that I spoke for you.
Words of love, words of hope I spoke for you,
I'm all but moving still.

Bushes thick and green will soon turn brown,
Tree's you've leaned against will loose their crown's.

For I left Pearl's against your breasts, knotted
Silk each knot, I tied for you.
Such beauty fades, I've seen it come and go.

Forgotten by them all and seen by few,
A faded photograph in black and white.
Colors always fade away and are seen by those
Who see with aged,
the eyes of youth now gone, far, far away.

Each leaf upon the tree a leaf of song, while
Full each bush that's filled with words, words
Spoken by but few who dream in song.

Against the sky, where the star's are each a background
Of my words so far away.
And of myself I give to all, even you.
