Reaching Your Prime Against All Odds
The flower of humility is a prerequisite for the intervention of hope
No situation can nullify a shift from hopelessness to joy
Faith over fear should imprint your heart because
The potency of unshakable hope will piece the air
Even when life is not fair
Darkness is but a temporary occasion
On this road of life
There lies an unshakable hope.

Reaching Out
Tossing electronically-bottled messages
into the wild blue sea yonder
will they float like a boat or sink like a stone
it only makes me ponder
as optimistically-inclined
I often wonder why
some say, 'Send me an email,'
but then never reply
do my bottles circumnavigate the globe
or stay in the Sargasso for ever and a day
are they wrecked on the rocks of spam
while

Reaching For Your Hand
The loss of
each simple
thing
hurting the most
When drama
subsides
and time slows
to its worst
Your shadow
still living
inside of my
pain
To darken each
heartache
again
— and again

Striving
What’s the point? she asked.
It could be a simple solution, he quipped.
With much to do and little to gain,
The effort remained unattainable rain.
So onward she strove
Observed by those who stood beyond the boundaries
Doing much and yet ignoring them
She left having been a bothersome chagrin.

Reaching For Answers
Why can't I be happy in life?
Is that truly too much to ask?
I've been forced into depression,
Where I can only sit and bask.
It feels like I have no other emotions
Left inside of me; I can feel.
I'm lost in a state of numbness,

Just A Simple Musk-Filled Muse, Reaching For The Sun
This was inspired by Silent One's poem,
"Prisoner Of Poetry"
Let me loose the trellis that holds on to my roses
weave every thorn I own around your open space
I do not twine nor do I have a tendril to boast of
but I do own beauty and the scent of Rose Khalid

Reaching Lights
In stillness I freeze,
Seizing being Free,
Staring into Trees.
Neurons inside of me,
Firing Constantly.
Sending and Receiving,
Little lights Reaching.
Achieving heights,
Beyond conceiving.
Thoughts Breezing,
Through its branches.
Lights Grabbing Chances,
According to feel.
Dancing with Ideas,
Becoming Real.
Electric Lights,
Guide the wheels.
Pulling up Emotions,
Going through the Motions.
A shimmering Ocean,
Glistening with Choices.
Exlporing the wide Open,
Lights are swimming,
Shining, then Dimming,
Zipping along,
Growing strong.
Carrying on and on,
Coming to its end,
New

Reaching out to God
feelers extend from the heart
reaching out toward kinetic energy
an energy that emanates distant in the universe
far and free from terrestial vibes
feelers striving to link in to its celestial harmony

Cut cords in half,
Tethers binding gone, poof…

As new.

Sarabande on reaching the age of eighty-five

Like the fun even though dynamo elsewhen or blue
