Closeness

Too close one can't see
And too far is blurred
Distance is immaterial
To one who feels much

Attachment has blind spots
Detachment is spot free
Empty canvass is no art
So paint as you wish

Work hard and serve a lot
And hone your skills
When opportunity comes
Just hang on its wings

Closeness is no surety
Nearness no guarantee
When the need arises
Someone helps unexpected

A little with us is better
Than stars in the night sky
They shine like gems
But give not much light

Come close or come near
Withdraw or depart
Understand the situation well
And give peace a chance

Too close is uncomfortable
And too far is almost lost
Distance builds up and rift develops
When we meddle or ignore too long!
