The Distance

It’s true the distance draws me, though your closeness holds me near.
Why do I risk this safety for what I surely fear?
The mystery that pulls us is not one of our choosing.
We reach out for the unknown in spite of what we’re losing.
The secrets of the possible overcome what knows us
as we let loose of our moorings  to discover where wind blows us.
