to grope

 

To grope for a touch that isn’t there

Is a very Irritating feeling to the mind

How long before you light your love upon me

I am searching in thick fog, and darkness

 

To use the hand to try to feel

Something in utter opaque; seems very absurd

But I have a little hope, I wave hands

Hoping that someday I will feel you

 

When is the time that love is a light

When are my eyes finally to find

The beauty that I behold in mist

For my hands have lost fervent faith
