One pulls away
the other moves forward
reaching
A back is turned
a hand thrown out
reaching
Fingers stretch
across the miles
reaching
A heart turns cold
a soul cries out
beseeching
Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.
