The Untouched

Reach for the stars
They say
But how do we reach for things
So far away

How do we grasp
For something 
We can not feel

How do we hold on
When we've never held

Reaching
For the unknown

Quite a lot of valid questioning therein.....I find myself in this poem, asking, what is the quest? Thought-provoking; loved it
