...Yet So Very Close Poem by Maurice Harris

So far...yet so very close,
Is the one I love the most:
Though you are not near,
Still, I hold thee most dear!

Each night, as I do sleep,
Promise of consort I do keep;
Each morning, as I wake,
The glory, reality does take!

It is now mostly fanciful dream-
Omnipotent, real it does seem!
Each day, as I faithfully pray-
Perhaps one closer to that day!

Alas, as my dreams and reality do unite
Nearer still to me, you, I do invite!
