Reaching

We all keep reaching for something

to calm our nerves, soothe our skin and

make us whole

 

we only need to look to the sun for our nourishment

with it's blisstery wet rains

and high temps

 

for it is with this we are renewed and not alone

our skin sweltering in the sun and sand

while we play out our dreams and journeys.

 

keeping track of those that are near and dear to us

and trying to catch a wave to float on to the next generation.

 

wave goodbye to our past and when we enter the

tunnel we are in a new world.

It's much brighter there and slower so that we may engage

and flourish in it's mounds of joy and love.

 

reach out my friends and share this pillow of clouds with others

for it is with these things we reach.
