Like a branch that reaches out toward the sun <br />Or a leaf that gently touches the sky <br />steadfast and growing with roots running deep <br />or a robin preparing to fly <br />like a wing that glides on a gentle wind <br />seeking its way to a nest <br />like a wave gently rolling ashore <br />Searching for a place to rest <br />Like two hearts beating from miles away <br />thumping in perfect harmony <br />trying to find some common ground, to set their spirits free <br />Like a kite that dances across the sky <br />or the sun that chases the moon <br />like a rainbow arched from right to left that faded much too soon <br />Like a dolphin leaping over a perfect wave <br />or a shooting star that glitters in its flight <br />The soft sweet whisper of a gentle sea breeze <br />as the daytime slowly turns into night <br />like a mother and child sharing time <br />precious moments in a gentle embrace <br />like the the sun that rises in the eastern sky <br />with a smile on its early morning face <br />like the golden rays reaching out to touch <br />the green soft earth below <br />like a love that seeks to find an answer <br />one you might already know <br />like a song that reaches out to find <br />an open and receptive ear <br />like the person scared to make a change, suddenly losing that fear <br />like a road that reaches out to nowhere, suddenly finding its place <br />like two people standing hand to hand, gazing into each others face <br />like the warmth that comes from within the heart <br />reaching out for each other with a love that cannot be torn apart<br /><br />William Lindenmuth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reaching-out-12/
