Touching




To touch the future
is impossible
walking in heavy fog
feeling the dampness
my skin grows cold and wet
turning me towards the warmth of home.

To touch today
is always possible
where there is no fog,
only dusty memories
falling gently on precious items
keeping the warmth of home within.

To touch the past 
is impossible
the heavy fog of hovering memories
~ feeling the distance ~
my heart reaches out, stretches out
turning me towards the warmth of home.

To touch today
is always possible
clearing away dust and fog with a resilient spirit
spices to futures hopes and dreams
using many flavoured lessons from the past
 ~ home can be created that is safe and warm. 

“And he that strives to touch the stars, 
Oft stumbles at a straw.”
~ Edmund Spenser
