Love From Afar
By Rich Reith

Oh, how can her every unconscious move
Entrance?

A naive tilt of head
A delicate neck revealed
And her bashful lover suffers.

Pining to talk with her
But standing mute,
As a tiny hand brushes a silken hair
from her soft cheek.

As he surveys from afar,
Her hesitant lover suffers.

Such a gentle, tender creature of God.
Love made flesh.
Her smile,
Her quiet laugh
And all he can do
Is cry inside.
