REACHING

Nederlands: hier

...

I reach for it
there must be something to explore
I reach for it
and stretch a little more
I reach for it
‘cause something must be lying there in store
I reach for it
wanting to belong to other shores
I reach for it
and lean over and over and over

but then I hold
steady
where I am
rooted
on the basis
how I know
no longer do I strain myself to foreign fields

grounded
grown
reached and
eventually
realized

this is my balance

here I stand
and I enjoy
