Arms stretched

She stretches out
her arms around the world

To reach all she loves,
all she misses.

Those who she can't see,
but can only dream of

At night when it's dark
when the stars appear,

She reaches her arms out.
And the world reaches back.



**

Leaving pieces of her heart in every place she goes,
With the hope that someday she can go back
And collect them all.
