Distant

From afar, the nearest things appear to transform

Eyes their natural inclinations at a patient moment

Without the desire to look any further

Once being away from it all seems to be enough

Knowing about the reality from a different perspective

Their shadows whisper the real desires

While the mind crawls along the path

Not trying to take the same route, but a detour

This could be the closest one can get near clarity

Till you start seeing again in a new light

Change is fond of touching an unseen reality

Of which the closest ones are unaware

Not being too close is a realisation
