Miles or Maybe Steps

Kota Bharu, Kelantan. MALAYSIA – 22 June 2019 

How much distance exists between us 
miles or maybe a few steps 
but I grow slowly 
yet I know no other 
direction if not yours. 
With all my strength I nurture my roots 
so that I can tend to you 
not with despair but with love. 
“Love”, this word you say to me, 
and my flowers will be – someday 
same thing as you.
