Care To Be Found Poem by Kai Ford

I stand so far yet so close to you
A visible walkway before us
Tree-lined with our mistakes&lessons from our individual pasts
Though timid of the unknown destination it leads to
I reach to grab your hand with all assuredness.
At that moment you KNOW the truth of my care.
It was NEVER lost to be found by you!
It is blatantly visible and its effects are felt throughout the day in you...

As I reach for your hand, I notice, for some reason, it is translucent
My hand keeps slipping thru yours
I repeatedly try to grasp your hand gently
We seem to miss the needed connection necessary for the journey
But me in my persistent glory, won't give up
Though I simply wished I wasn't losing clarity of the vision's beauty
And you possessed the perspective to HAVE sight for the vision...

Your lips utter perfected praise of the idea of Kristin in your world
Though no fruit is produced
I'm standing at the door of your fortified heart
Asking the guard if I can come in and relax
He says you're not available and actually can not be found
I sigh
Oddly enough, neither can your care for me!
