Reducing The Distance – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“Openness isn’t the end; it’s the beginning.” Margaret Heffernan
Reducing The Distance
Fear and prejudice are manifest,
tearing at our hearts as
one fear begets another and
to step out of that slavery
is what brings us together,
reducing the distance of suspicion
where we discover each other
leaving no room for misunderstanding,
no longer wanting what I don’t want
and knowing that fulfillment is
that which is within is that
by which I live,
a hidden wisdom to
which I constantly respond
with surprise.
