REACHING OUT

  Enjoy that something you’ve never met,
The coolness of the evening breeze,
The warmth of the bedcovers,
  Just missing sleep.
    Don’t you wish you knew? the dreams of sunlight,
      Beating down,
    The wholeness of the winter’s moon.
  The heat,
    After that sudden storm.
  The sweat,
    After the big moment.
  Peacefulness,
Wholeness,
    Crowds,
    Proudness,
      And joy,
    Of being yourself.
        Reach out to meet the self you’ve never met,
And enjoy that something that you do not know,
  Enjoy it while you can.
