So Near Yet So Far

So near yet so far - - - - - - - - - - - - So funny and so strange; So loving yet so mystifying A thing, time and again It haunts and does sting It disturbs and arrests It torments and pleases And remands you to custody As if a criminal Awaiting a free, fair trial Oh! what you are A soul happy happier When you are near And gloomy gloomier When you are far Yet you twinge as if so near Roses are sad Stars are nowhere The moon and sun are dead And no flower can bloom fair Unless you are here And no light can glitter Unless you be the light here Part of my life you are Like a star you glow and glimmer And when you are gone No dreams or hopes can fill the space And may God squeeze the distance So that I could travel easy with no pain Between the heart and the heaven So near yet so far……….
