Reaching Out
Captured
In the moment
When darkness erases our reason
We lose ourselves in the quietness
Deafened to the song of living
We drown ourselves with tears
Bent in two as we release the dread
Our heart in conflict with our soul
Buried
In the lightless nightfall
In the arms of empty hearts
Unearthing a hollow hopelessness
Stifling
The possibility within ourselves
As we are numbed by fear
Frozen and isolated
Sometimes
We are blessed when someone
With grace, kindness and reverence
Reaches
To catch our hand to give us
The strength we could not find
With hope that illuminates our faith
Lifting us
To be tall in our spirit
Be joyful in our love
To find our tomorrow
Bless the hands that hold us
