Reaching

reaching for the light

reaching for you

my arms reaching out to you

take my hand

guide me through the dark

hand in hand,

together in the dark

Thanks, Katie. I'm trying to get out of this spiritual rut I've been in. Lots of meditating, excercise, and eating right. Starting to feel much better!

MA, Another beautiful poem. Do me a favor and don't ever stop reaching and asking for help through the dark, because Psalms 30:5 [King James Ver.] says, For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Glad to hear you're feeling better.

I might not be reaching as far as I can, but at least I'm reaching now. It's so hard to ask for help, whether it's with my God, or from others. Thanks for your encouraging comment.

MA

Yes.. I notice it isn't calculating your reads either! It's showing 'comments' and 'I like it' votes but '0' reads and it's the reads that keep your piece in the featured writing!! Ahhhgggg!!!!

Well, I really enjoyed your poem, MA. It's amazing what we find when we reach out. Well done, my friend!! Happy days.....Jerry

I really don't care if I get into featured writing, really. I'm just tired of the same old stuff in the 'featured writing'. I mean, come on people. Do you really read the same stuff every week?

Anyway, thanks Jerry for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the poem.

A poem of fear, of willingness, of trust and of hope, very, very nice. Hope this comment finds you well, Ted

Thanks, Ted.

A simple but well-thought-out poem. You certainly seem to be reaching out at this moment in your life as one of your other poems, "Searching" suggests. I hope you find what you are looking for, or, at the very least, never stop looking for it. If we stop reaching out, we ourselves become unreachable. Keep writing. Annie

Annie, thank you so much for this beautiful comment. Yes, I am trying to reach out, and I do get someone's hand. It's hard for me to trust, to have faith, yet it seems so simple.

... another great poem, but this one leaves a big question mark over my head. I love it cause it is so deep... so simple and short, yet deep. I'm sure I will be staring at my ceiling tonight when I go to bed thinking about the meaning of this poem. Maybe you didn't mean for it to be something to really think about, but I'm glad it will give me something to meditate on :)

Actually, I had written this after meditating. It has probably way much more meaning than I originally thought. It's not just reaching out to others, but reaching within ourselves, finding our souls.
