Tim Smith Poet Free verse

An Outstretched Hand With Guest Harif

As that fragile snowdrop tentatively
but courageously challenges cold
I defy your icy stance with dignity
raising my head in delicate pride 

White sheets caress the steel rail
cleansed again in chilled spaces
calling me to come back home
will the feelings ever be the same

Outside fantasies running adrift
flying kites and paper airplanes
sunlit shadows hiding all the pain
snowdrop glistens as I slip away

Satin kisses lay across yellow roses
outstretched hands and heart propose
    It's going to be alright

Your lovely words for soothing Darren reminded me of the saying I started with in this box. At this time, I much needed that reminder as offered in your comforting and beautiful poem ... CayCay
