Reaching Out

You reach out.. No one is there.. You awaken in the morning.. Filled with hope.. Hoping and praying.. Seeking someone To lend a helping hand.. As you reach out your hand.. No one is there.. Disappointments and tears.. You carry on with your face of sadness.. Many tears are shed.. Tears rolling .. A waterfall of tears.. Along your waterfall of tears.. You visualize yourself.. A raft boat.. Floating away.. You are engrossed by the sounds.. Noise of waterfalls.. Rafting away.. Alone and hurt.. Longing for another. To accompany you.. Instead.. Only one seat occupies the raft boat.. One raft boat.. With self.. A painful battle . With hurt With a throbbing intense pain.. You battle.. You struggle.. With self.. Searching for your contentment.. You have searched high and low.. For.. Wholeness.. Fulfillment.. Fill the dark void.. An empty void .. Void is deep.. An endless pit of darkness An endless pit of stinging pain.. Stung and alone in a pit.. In order to find . You must search.. Listening to all the sounds of nature.. Waterfalls and all On a raft boat.. May divinity grant me.. The peace and serenity to carry on..

No one is there that you can see...As you know, God is always there with you...though sometimes that's small comfort, I confess. And yet... Enjoyed reading this one, Robertina! :) Gershon
