Reaching

I awoke this morning

Reaching for someone

To tell you who

I’d love to

For that would mean

That I knew

For what my heart desired

Does it want

Soft and sweet

Or even a bit of stern?

With every person

That I meet

Even more I yearn

For someone to

Hold me fast

And hold me steady, still

With every beating

Of my heart

I can only hope I will

Meet the one

To dry my tears

And put this lonely

To an end
