Haunted by absence


Haunted as we are by the absence of belonging,
we reach outward for what can only be found within.
Pull back those outstretched fingers;
turn your palm to face you, see the lifelines there,
and place them gently, tenderly over your heart.
Feel the warmth that pulses deep within you,
and know the love that brought you life,
that flows through and around you,
and someday, when your time on earth is done,
will carry you on your final journey home.
