Furtive Reaches

Furtive reaches

Into places dimly seen

Let alone understood

Comfort drawn from where I am

But partial comfort only

Not giving back

What could come if I grasped

The where-I-am

With real strength

And the belief that enables

New understanding. 

Furtive reaches

Some the same

But opening more to be seen

More to tantalize understanding

Paths as well as places

As the richness grows

In what I see

That richness adds

To what I can aspire 

To know 

As well as what I aspire to forget.
