By Charles Robert Lindholm
Separated by time and space
denied the warmth of Her gentle embrace
Her words they kiss me, though I know
I will never touch Her face
She’s not from my time
she’s not in this place
but I love the photo
of Her smiling face
Trading messages
that fly at night
words with wings
at the speed of light
And sometimes they touch
each other in flight
the sweetest moment of all,
a moment sublime
an instant in time
it’s the thrill
of Real Time
with Her
