Distant Mind

Mushed thoughts written down

In a distant mind, your shadow walks,

Among the echoes, where silence talks.

A fleeting thought, a whisper, a trace,

A glimpse of you in a timeless space.

Your essence lingers, quiet yet clear,

Familiar warmth, though you're not near.

In a distant mind, you softly stay,

A star that guides but keeps away.

[Dara]

This is hauntingly beautiful and bittersweet. I especially like the last two lines.
“In a distant mind, you softly stay,
A star that guides but keeps away.”
A familiar tale of unrequited love, perhaps, or one who is no longer here but ever present in the heart and mind. Your emotions are captured so well in each and every line.
