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

"Despite appearances, all things are in divine order." It is no accident, me thinks, that I read this tonight. 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

This is touching... So sweet, and I'm guessing from the comments it is for Darren, which makes it even sweeter. I'm sure it offers him a lot of comfort. Well done, Tim.
