Before I met you,
I believed you existed,
Somewhere beyond my reach.
And when I met you,
My heart beat faster,
Knowing you were within reach.
For over 50 years
We circled and danced
Passionately reaching.
Now you are gone.
And once again, you exist
Somewhere beyond my reach.
And yet, I can’t let go.
My heart and mind keep stretching
Into a soundless void…
Reaching…
Reaching…
Reaching…
