Tentacles of longing,
Stretching out,
Blindly,
Into the murky unknown,
A sometimes alien world
Of unfamiliar
And paradox,
Reaching,
Praying,
Stumbling,
Suddenly a touch,
A tender warmth,
A hand that holds
But does not grasp.
Beneath a dark horizon,
Undeniably and assuredly,
Arising like the morning sun
A glowing,
A growing,
Filling the landscape
Of the soul,
A knowing,
Here is a heart
That feels like home.

I was wondering when Cloud Pillows would present us a fresh poem... it's been definitely too long a time. ;)
You found in "a heart that feels like home" such a superb, effective way to describe it, the whole of my feelings (as well as my rational portion) went: "ahhhh, so THAT's what it is...!" :)
Thank you for your light. Please share more often - everybody deserves a piece of you...

@ CarolinaZ - how lovely to have you grace these pages with your comment.
Poetry becomes a challenge - when one is lost for words - but a challenge I accept.
Thank you.
I agree with Carolina. Wholeheartedly. Not a grumble, though - definitely woth waiting for!
Homology: A beautiful poetic expression of a deep, internal experience... i feel that the journey of life really is just as you have protrayed it... i like also the juxtaposing of the trepidation of the unknown ("the murky unknown') with the light - the morning sun, glowing, growing - then resting it all in the most beautiful and powerful thing of all, our own Soul Consciousness... deeply inspiring Ellumbra... dd
very nice, I like and share

Hi Tim, :-)
It's been a while, i missed the exchanges of ideas and visiting this poetic place of yours...:-)
"Suddenly a touch,
A tender warmth,
A hand that holds
But does not grasp."
could be a coincidence, but at this very moment, i am in parallel thoughts with these lines in your sweetly penned poem.
I wish you well tim, God bless :-)
