Grasping . . . On a Starry Night




~~~Grasping for,

~~~~~~~~~but not quite reaching.



~~~My soul is longing,

~~~~~~~~~but my heart is teaching.



~~~Complete passion

~~~~~~~~~in a moment failed.



~~~Feeling arms

~~~~~~~~~without being held.



~~~Shedding all,

~~~~~~~~~though not blind.



~~~To what I know,

~~~~~~~~~to what I find.



~~~All of this

~~~~~~~~~in a single flight.



~~~Whispered love,

~~~~~~~~~on a starry night.
