Reaching Out

I remember when we first met,
the touch was uneasy,
my fingers not use to you.

I tripped over the spacings
my mind running too fast for the
thoughts to be captured.

Sight unseen, I fell in love,
you taking the place of,
the need so great.

Times tears would flow
from the visions
you would plant in my mind.

A future of possibilities
spelled out in front of me,
embracing me with willingness.

Survival, once taken for granted
now needing to be recognized,
empowered, encouraged.

You have become my companion,
a lifeline at times, a voyeur
eyeing my growth, though somewhat slow.

If taken away, you would be missed,
but I would not fall apart, or be without,
for this mind's eye is possessed.

Endowed with memories, experiences
treasured, in my control.
You are to me, the touch within my soul

Reaching out...

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."

Reaching out...

OH that is a perfect ending, and your poem
was lovely as always.  
Your words never fail to touch Maureen.

speaking to my soul
let us reach out together
searching for comfort

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
