To reach...

Without the arc of expectations.

To be the biding faith of
empty hands.

In distance...space alone remains
holy.

And only fingers truly
understand.

Some very powerful imagery here, multi-layered for certain, "To reach...

Without the arc of expectations."
Very good, even if it were a stand alone.

"To be the biding faith of
empty hands.

In distance...space alone remains
holy."

Exquisite. Excellent skill! Grover.

And only fingers truly
understand.

To reach ...
and to trust
that our fingers
will gracefully
touch
upon truth
Magical, dear Eric.
I love you.

Such a beautifully graphic description of longing itself... and the truth for which we are always reaching for... it's within the touch that the truth is known... only the fingers find such secrets. It's beautiful.

Thank you for sharing with us your breathtaking gift of poetic love.

I love you.

oh indeed and how beautifully said....

There are moments when speech
is but a mouth pressed lightly and
humbly against the angel's hands.
