Distance Poem by Phil Soar

Distance
Near and far
Miles of space to explore
Between the towns and cities
The strides we take to see the disatnce as no obstacle
We fly, we drive
We walk, we ride
And getting there is part of the way
Our efforts to understand our relationship with the land
And the seas
Means we must travel
And on the way mix the pleasures of our eyes
With the senses
And realise we are just part of a wondrous field of wonder
Nevertheless distance becomes no object
We reach wherever we can
And revel in the beauty
Of distance
