Always out of reach.<\/p>\n

Fingers moving<\/p>\n
Without instruction.<\/p>\n
Always moving,<\/p>\n
Always turning,<\/p>\n
Always out of reach.<\/p>\n
It’s him and me.<\/p>\n
A pro and a child.<\/p>\n
The goal, the same,<\/p>\n
The distance different<\/p>\n
Music not connecting,<\/p>\n
Evading the point.<\/p>\n
Always moving,<\/p>\n
Always turning,<\/p>\n
Always out of reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
