Monday's Muse

You were never closer through each painful pass with barely a glimpse.
Your words never louder.
Your smile never brighter.

You were never clearer with each tasty mouthful and morsel and platefuls of soul.
Lifegiving food.
Delicious you.

You’ve never been truer without saying a word, spoke with your eyes.
Unneedful of place.
Mindless of want.

But you were never farther as I saw you, just out of reach, soon out of sight.
