Seven Seas Apart
From seven seas apart
They knew each other
Spoken words
He felt her simplicity
Her beauty and charm
Without a doubt
His voice
Like the chimes
In the wind
Like music to the air
It touched her heart
And ignite her soul
They became friends
Knowing little of each other
But what was written and read
Told and untold
For all that is said
Was understood
Even in such silence
She being a known writer
And he a famous filmmaker
What more was left
What more was being said
They encouraged
And supported each other
After a while
The conversation increased
They taught each other
And learn so much unknowingly
Without even wanting to
He had the eyes to capture
And the mind to develop
And make his masterpiece
With perfection and nothing less
And she the mind to create
And make a masterpiece with words
Seven seas apart
Never met
But their friendship
Developed and grew
Slowly but beautifully
Creating many memories
To sit back and someday
Talk about and smile
When the time comes of age
When they grow older
And share their stories
Of these days
Remembering his spoken words
‘You will tell the children of
your great-grandchildren that
there was an old man far away
across the seven seas
that taught me how to make films”
Reply was
‘And you would tell the story
about helping a girl far away
and maybe you will someday
make a movie of it and call it
Friends across seven seas.
Story of the poet and filmmaker’
