Reach Out

A word from the abyss of unreason,

Chatter unexpectedly out of season

That permeates so clear and so needed,

But has never wanted to be heeded.

Reach out

Arms spindling in the words presented,

A gentle embrace not to be resented

For it shall bring light into the dark

On the heart where hell left it's mark.

Reach out

Such a lonesome world that persists

And to life a mind that so resists

The warmth of gentle compassion

Taken as if it was only a ration.

Reach out

Hands outstretched to a hurting friend,

Until they massage the pain and rend

It to the dust which clouded the eyes

To stop seeing only selfish lies.

Reach out

Hear the truth beyond the seen

That should prove to lovers most keen,

Grasping uncertainty with one another

Like a kin-bound sister to a brother.

Reach out
