If you can't lock eyes and can't lock hands because a vast separation forbids it, then the next best thing might be to let your sight lines cross on a distant star because that might just help you lock minds

Guess which star I am looking at and there let your gaze and mind dwell, So if our bodies cannot lie together at least our minds will! For sweetly as the flesh of swains and maids repose in a common embrace, Just so do our minds repose in common thoughts; And as brim with gaiety two weary heads on a shared pillow, Just so do our eyes delight in common celestial sights.

"Vast separation ...usually man forbids, not God. Your focus on reality is beautiful and sad

It's easier for us who live in this age of instant communication. I often wonder how they coped in the days of horse and buggy. I appreciate the comment.
