Technical Trouble

Our worlds have grown far apart.

We use to be a field away,

then it was a town.

Now I speak to someone hundreds

of miles from me,

Who may rub elbows with you

at lunch today.

There was a time it took a week

for mail to arrive,

Now 2 seconds and a text

lands in my hand.

It isn't the miles that make the

Difference, it is space that is lacking,

Space in our our lives and

In our hearts.

How can we be so far apart

And yet so close?

Sometimes our minds cannot

span the time and distance,

Yet our hands persist in trying.
