out of touch by Mary Frances Spencerwhen
the heart
closes
heavy doors
on reaching fingers
slams iron bolts
against rain and tears
light somehow finds
and filters through
clouded windows
cracked walls
warm sun
intimate
distance
i send you
rays of warmth
i wait hope pray
maybe your heart
will open
and reach back

Posted by Kris Mara on 05/06/09 at 05:20 PM yes beautiful -- this part really hits home: when
the heart
closes
heavy doors
on reaching fingers |
