He’s 900 miles away
much too far to hold her in his arms
but that doesn’t mean he’s not close
close enough to feel everything
except her hand in his and her breath against his skin
So he just takes it one moment at time
knowing good and well that the time will be here
and she will know the answer to the question she asked
not so very long ago
“How will I know?”
when she finally lets go
closes her eyes one last time
breathes her last and holds on
to the handrail of heavens stairs
where her soul knows the way
becoming once again
what she first was
going right back
where she came from
becoming the North Star
for the one that is waiting
900 miles away
to feel her whisper against his skin
to see the stars and know
she is right there
watching him close
seeing all the tears glistening in his eyes
as he looks up and says
“Now she knows..now she knows..now she knows
and so do we.”
