Reach Beyond

curled up in the comfort of your room,

a tapping upon your door begins

calling you to answer

and you…

retreat
back into your hollow cave
back to the sheltered space you’ve made
from the idea that anyone will come to your door
from searching what’s drifting along the shore
from the ghost that haunts us all
from what hurts us all

escape
from that dark tidal wave
from the corner of the world you’ve made
stretch out your arms for what’s behind the door
seek to break the distance to the shore
it’s time to get out and stop all the fuss
it may be possible to trust

again…
