Reaching Out Poems

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 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

I Do Float Through Life Reaching Out

Scissors
Cut cords in half,
Tethers binding gone, poof…
I do float through life reaching out
As new.

Reaching Out

No You are not alone

Take my hand
I am reaching out to you

Through the darkness
that seems to lock you in

Know that there is light
That you hold a greater fight

Can you feel my hand
Pulling you away from the darkness

Closer and closer

Towards the warmth
Towards the light

Reaching Out

When I'm in doubt
You'll see me reaching out
It's not for clout
It's words that I tout

I'm afraid of the debtor
But I try to do better
I want to be a record setter
Like a real go getter

When everything is falling
My lines are inane and sprawling
But this was my calling
And the rush I get is enthralling

And if I chew

Reaching Out To the Lord

Can I ask you, Lord...why is there Cancer? 
And Lord, why did you ever make this exist, And...
No disrespect, but this should Never 
Come to anyone. Please Lord, if you Can... 
End this, end this disease now, for-Ever 
Reaching out to you, Lord...Respectfully

Reaching Out

A baby in a stroller pointed,
Giggling, at me.
I waved and then he laughed some more
And grinned delightedly.

I also had the sweetest kisses
Blown my way from far.
My brother’s year-old grandson
Raised the FaceTime cuteness bar.

The urge to thus communicate
Begins when very young,
With smiles the currency employed,
Since words are yet unsung.

As children grow and fear kicks in,
That need

A Poem of Isolation:Adhd's Influence

I am reaching out to you
Why can't you see my hand
I know it doesn't look like the others
Why can't you see my hand
Please
Look at my hand
I'm begging you
See my hand
Please
Please
See my hand

Reaching Out To You

the sun sweeps across the land
caresses hills and valleys
and all i see is the breadth
that separates me from you

i can't help but wonder
what lies beyond the horizon

Reaching Out

wanting so bad to tell you
just keeping it a secret in my heart

one day will be too late
and you'll be taken by another

right now all tied up
confusion runs through my veins

my head pounding
wanting to reach out

Reaching Out

Reaching out for you in that unconscious sort of way
awakening loudly in the moment of this night
traces of presence called you were no longer 
as though you had erased yourself from the bed
seen or felt...feeling loss of your touch, laughter
kindness, irreverence...teasing me...
connecting with you is

Awakening

Reaching Out

she made a desperate leap but once more missed the boat

had to absolve her failure by swimming in ablution creek
the water was murky and viscous but therefore she floated
the sheen on her skin blessed her strokes in polluted disguise

distant proximity posed a new challenge as she sifted the debris
of her sad heart punctured by thrash

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

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 baby lies!
Between the rock at the very edge,
It’s shirt held

Reaching Out To Hold You

In the midnight clouds,
I reach out to hold you near
Covered by sheer shrouds

Without you by me
Lying down, so wide awake
How can I be free?

You approach me now
But, you spread your precious wings 
You begin to soar

Must let go, I guess
I will smile away my frown
Hide away distress

Above lament's lake
Soaring below the surface...
You felt low and
