Smudged faraways
are for the impatient
they don’t recede as believed
but blur upon the decision to seek;
but then there are sunsets
that come seeking
for there are hearts
that respect
that touch not the touch-me-nots
not for fear or inability
or any reason that can be explained,
these are hearts protecting ember
from gushing water and howling wind –
sunsets come a-visiting
in the kindred ways of flame
for two hearts burn better
and warm the clarities of togethernesses
that were or will be
or simply
meant to be.
