Best Reaching Out Poems


Reaching Out
Through thickening haze,
I hear your voice call my name, 
encouraging me, words beating 
with my heart, guiding me home
as I stumble and crawl… 
lost in a winding maze,
blinded by a smokescreen haze.
My life falls off-course; a sudden struggle, 
I am suffocated by my own thoughts,
by...

Thinking of you, my friend,
wanting to ease your pain.
Picking up pieces to mend,
to see you whole again.

Life is coming at you,
relentless and too fast.
Not much to do,
before the issue is past.

The distance between us is far.
But know that I am always here.
I wish for you...

Reaching Out To You
I feel like my life is a clean slate
When I’m reaching out to you
I feel you lingering in my thoughts...
You stitched up my insecure frame of mind 
And stitched up the little pieces of memory 
That knits a smile on my face 
I don't know...

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...

Reaching Out To You -
Can you hear my voice,
on the other side?
I call quietly out to reach your ear, 
and hope your heart will listen.
I don't care to reach the masses, 
just one just you will do.
I'm a solitude writer, 
as company can crowd me.
One perfect understanding being, 
to...

Premium Member Reaching Out- In the Fragility of Dreams
A screaming baby hanging by the rock,
Amidst the splashing turbulence of angry waves,
I am running downhill to rescue the child,
Over slippery stones with my shaken nerves,
Time is ticking, ticking fast, between me and the scream,
I wipe my glasses to clear the mist,
to see where screaming...

Reaching out to others you’ll find you’re never alone.
There’s comfort there, even in the worse of times.
God gave us arms to hold others tight.
He gave us eyes, to see others plight.
He gave us legs to get to those arms.
He gave us hearts to know where...

Reaching out to me the golden light streams
The sun kisses my forehead with its blush
Nothing in this scene is quite as it seems
Multicolored brightness is sure quite lush
Pinks, yellows have made it to me, redeems
To caress my soul with light in a rush

Opened, I must...

From a lonely grave a broken heart reaches out  
Touches within my intermost being without a doubt

Did she not have any courage left within her grasp
A tiny bit to help her cling on and a small hand to clasp

Wondering for years what really happened...

Reaching Out
my mind feels cornered again
every thought has me hanging
on sanity's edge

i reach for you
this ringing in my head
offers little hope
as it echoes
through the phone

a momentary pause
before the pre-recorded voice
the usual message after the tone
as the tone of mood changes

i can feel my emotions
fall like shadows
on...

Reaching Out
*
We
walk in 
a world that
is suspended in
space
*
* *
*
We
probe and
explore the
mystery of
life
*
* *
*
There’s
only
one truth to
which we can hold
on
*
* *
* 
The
giver 
of life, He
is holding our
hands
*
* *
*
His
love is
there for all
that faithful reach
out

Reach Out To God He's Reaching Out To You
You will find God when you seek
 him with all of your heart.
Getting on your knees in prayer 
is a good place to start!

Remember... A double-minded man is 
unstable in his ways.
He has no true direction in 
life when he prays.

Draw near to God and...

Premium Member Hands Reaching Out
~Two chairs staring at each other…empty.
Meters away, dark fog gathers to choke their
fired gazes piercing the needles of discord
strewn on the caving floor   both mute, raging…
both divided by scrolls of dead sea syllables that

gradually, a quivering throat assuages 
another tattered heart lost in...

reaching out

the fair chance 
of it all
raises fear
chasing hope
us
checking each other
checking each other
just to be sure
it’s nor a game thing

life’s full of pain
with songs
groaning and moaning
sad rivers of tears
cascading the soul
chasing happiness
between pews of grief
mothers know of joy
as babes burst from wombs
to liberate two
that are...

My Arms Are Reaching Out For You Again
My mind keeps saying no
But my arms, are reaching out for you again
My hands start shaking
As I tremble, at the thought of giving in
I recall all the pain
That you put me through, way back then
I wish I could just say no
But my arms, are reaching...
