Living, Learning and Reaching by BJ Neblett

“…a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.”

                                    Robert Browning

            I’ve been grasping for what lies just beyond my reach all of my life.

            It has led me afar and on many adventures. Yet my hand remains empty.

            The trick is to keep reaching…

                        But stop running…

                                    And it will come to you.

Eyes that open

            See

            Wonder

            Eyes that are searching

Eyes that question

            Plead

            Demand

            Eyes that are misunderstood

Eyes that spark

            Flash

            Burn

            Eyes that are jaded

Eyes that pry

            Scold

            Accuse

            Eyes that are troubled

Eyes that speak

            Curse

            Lie

            Eyes that are lost

Eyes that long

            Hope

            Hurt

            Eyes that are ignored

Eyes that fear

            Hide

            Pray

            Eyes that are forgotten

Eyes that remember

            Cry

            Dim

            Eyes that are closed
