SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE

An image is walking

Somewhere a legacy is stalking

There are cries with emotions expelling

But distance is truly far

It’s not a place driven by a car

But understanding being clarified

In fact, the image was of someone I once knew

I had to really put the pieces together through

It was a friend who died many years ago

But there is an although

Who was this image, and why did they appear?

I felt fear

I didn’t want that image near

But the image said, “Don’t you remember me?”

When the image got closely, I realized it was an old female friend from college being like a Grandmother too me

Her name plain and comforting being Lois Copeland

So that distance seemed far, but came near

The image was encouraging in continuing to preserver.
