Hope you enjoy.","content":"My heart belongs many miles away,  \nBut my body is stuck to this floor.  \n  \nI cannot grow wings;  \nNot of glorious white feathers  \nOr cloaked black leather.  \nMy back remains smooth skin.  \n  \nSeparated are we not by chains,  \nNot walls nor bridges,  \nOnly by distance  \nAnd by time.  \n  \nThough many tell us to forfeit  \nAnd go our separate ways,  \nWe will hold fast  \nAnd remain anchored to one another  \n  \nThe distance makes it hard;  \nTime harder still  \nBut a promise is a promise,  \nEven a promise of love.  \n  \nSo through time I'll carry my heart,  \nUntil I am able to conquer the distance.  \n  \n~bhscorch\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)  \n\"Distance and Time\" by bhscorch is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/).\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/605599-poem-89-the-wind.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/617569-poem-91-the-way.json"}}
