Reach for me. Poem

I watched you today. In my house.

You sat forlorn and broken.

Far from the sounds of the joy around

And all the words being spoken.

You arms were crossed

Your heart was covered

With them like a veil of flesh

I earnestly wanted to whisper to you

Hold you

Love away all your mess

But you were closed off from all I had for you

Tuned out like a broken resistor

I even sent a word just for you

But you were so lost in your pity, you missed them.

And as you mourned for yourself

And your life’s plans

How ‘nothing’ is going your way

I was waiting for you to speak to me

So I could comfort you in some way

But you sat in my house, and refused to reach out

For my hand as it brushed by

Not feeling my warmth, just nothing at all

And you seemed to be wondering why

Relationship is a two-way treasure

And I’ve done all I can do

I’ve loved you with a love that kills me, seeing you so far.

The rest is up to you.

#“Reach out to me”

Nehemiah 1:9  But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
