I outstretch my arms
With my hands grasping
I’m not quite there yet
My mouth agape gasping
I look into the distance
On me, a reality dawned
I couldn’t see what I wanted
What I sought was yet beyond
I speak words aplenty
Falling on ears; a few
I won’t stop at some or many
But I’ll aim at all of you
I stand before you reaching
To see, to grasp, to share
From the moment I stop reaching
I’ll be stuck just right here.
