Uncertain touch

Falling short
I see you drifting
Something about you call to me
Again and again

Reach out
But hold back
With fingers  numb and deliberate
I grasp every soft word

Poking stars
Arranging them into the pattern of you
Brief touch
Then gone in a quiet breath

Clothed in wildflowers
Locks broken by a gentle touch
A wanderer among the lost
Lanternbearer

Stardust streaming like a brook across my feet
Your hair dark as the night by my trail
Putting my arms around you
Comforting you for a moment

I don't wish you loneliness
Your kindness doesn't deserve it
My heart feel for you
Without a word I let you know I'm here

Hear with an open heart
The songs that drift through my mind
Follow the spinning lights
The turbulence of me dancing through life

I will teach you
to see the beauty in a single drop
the distraction of the stars
and the peace of a stormy sea

But first, see me in my simplicity
Know me for all I have cried for
The touch of uncertainty
Kindness from heartbreak
