we've been moving our fingers
around the world's map
pausing a nail here
a knuckle there
using a slide ruler
of happiness to check
the distance between
where we are now
and where we want to be
a couple old farts
in search of sea views
and beach strolls
sun-filled days and warm
twinkling nights to hold us
perhaps
to help us remember
what it's like
to fall in love again
