Just Beyond
Sometime you get to see things
Right up front
Clear as day
And you’re sure it’s real
But then you step away
Time passes
And what seemed so real
May have just been a passing fancy
And how do you know-
Distance can create hurdles
Not insurmountable
But still a necessary detail to deal with
And then it becomes-
Just beyond
Just beyond your reach
Just beyond your memory
But what seemed real
Can live beyond it all
Because what you experience
Is always real to you
And that reality is truly all that matters.
