a little Farther


If only I could reach a little Farther

I don’t like being stuck here
where I have nowhere to go

I reach out
with all my might
but there is nothing for me to grab on to

If only I could reach a little Farther

my hand is extended out
Into the darkness

I’ve been told
there is nothing on the other side
but I know there is something
there has to be something

I just need to reach a little Farther

Into the darkness
and out into the light
where it will be brighter than here

a little Farther
just a little Farther
I need to reach a little Farther

If only I could reach a little Farther.

  • yearning heart


    she glanced across the room
    trying to catch a look at him without being noticed

    a glimpse of his walnut coloured hair came into her view
    followed by his bright smile

    everytime she sees that smile
    it makes her day
  • not so peaceful night


    stars shine through 
    a canopy of trees 
    as a group of people 
    walk on the shadows of the dark green leaves 
    against the dark blue sky dotted with white lights
    shining like candles in a dark room
  • Me

    Compassionately quiet
           Lovingly loud
    Loyal  considerate 

    Joyfully small
           Energetically shy
    Creative Dreamer

    Imaginative
          Thoughtful
