The Endless Reach

	"Peoples is important"  -Mrs. Singh

No reason lives in isolation;
I'm rooting through my mind
(Like a hog through last year's leaves,
Looking for the truffles-
Yet even if I find one,
It's useless unless it's eaten).

All the weights and measures,
All the meanings I apply to you,
Are they as heavy as your glances?
You never seemed tired from them before.

Does it occur to your introverted self
That I put you on a pedestal,
Not because you are perfect,
But because I need you to be?

No reason lives in isolation;
I don't want my reason to die.
