Open My Hand

I reach out
grasping for the wind
in hopes of capturing
just an inkling of hope
to hold
as tightly as I possibly can
so that
I could believe
the impossible

That
I could breathe again
that
the nothingness
of the air
could be held
as tightly
as the love
that
was no longer there

I want to be foolish
but I know
that
should I open my hand
it will be as empty
as my arms
that
once held her
it's just
that
I need an inkling
of hope

The feel of wanting
Ray of expectation
Penned in aspiration

Nice poem

The after effects of love linger on... while those we love move on. Your poem was heartfelt.
