reaching out
an empathy
from both sides
the distraught
to the comforter
the comforter
to the distraught
your soft tender heart
comes out
the flip side of your toughness
that’s no match to the love
you feel you see
in front of you
a sensitive moment
of reaching out
for comfort...
aptly reciprocated
tears over smiles
smiles over tears
laughters follow
breath-held embraced
wet cheeks touch dried
now hands braided
the setting sun scatter
a beautiful light splendid
dipping into horizon
a soft old rose radiance
tears of joy... trust
understanding reaffirmed
as footprints
on the sand
foam feathered back
to the now crimson sea
