Relative Gloaming

Distance pointed.
On its head
it wore a mountain.
And its hair looked like clouds.
Distance beckoned.
I wanted to run right over
and hug it.
But the closer I got,
the more it pulled away.
Its hand, a large tree
waved goodbye.
Long distance relationships
require adjusted parameters.
That night I swore
I heard a star cry.
