Reaching Out

Like a branch that reaches out toward the sun Or a leaf that gently touches the sky steadfast and growing with roots running deep or a robin preparing to fly like a wing that glides on a gentle wind seeking its way to a nest like a wave gently rolling ashore Searching for a place to rest Like two hearts beating from many miles away thumping in perfect harmony trying to find some common ground, to set their spirits free Like a kite that slowly dances across the sky or the sun that chases the moon like a rainbow arched from right to left that somehow faded much too soon Like a dolphin leaping over a perfect wave or a shooting star that glitters in its flight The soft sweet whisper of a gentle sea breeze as the daytime slowly turns into night like a mother and child sharing time precious moments in a gentle embrace like the the sun that rises in the eastern sky with a smile on its early morning face like the golden rays reaching out to touch the green soft earth below like a love that seeks to find an answer one you might already know like a song that reaches out to find an open and receptive ear like the person scared to make a change, suddenly losing that fear like a road that reaches out to nowhere, suddenly finding its place like two people standing hand to hand, gazing into each others face like the warmth that comes from within the heart reaching out for each other with a love that cannot be torn apart
