Reaching Out, Within Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Talented, alluring, full of a kind gentleness stirred
once in a while with caring.

Often sitting, settled into a silent reverie on some
distant plane.

Echoes of another world softly calling, wanting to
be heard.

No mountains or horizons, all is flattened beneath
the earth.

Reaching out in darkness, taking hold of small branches
as they break away quickly out of fear.

Somewhere, standing out of reach, filled with compassion,
a person waits in silent contemplation.

Praying for the person she is trying desperately to
reach.
