I wrote this poem after an experience with a pioneer of touch practice - It was an incredibly healing encounter that I just had to put in to words.
I stood in front of you
Scared little boy, yet so brave
Admired what you do
Not yet knowing what you gave
Been with you but a moment
and still I let
Your arms wrap around me
Though you hadn't touched me yet
The feel of your hands sang out
With laughter and smiles
Washing away doubt
I'd been with a long while
As we lay there together
A little flame burned
And I wondered whether
I could have what I yearned
If there were nerves now
I couldn't tell
Eyes wide and aware how
I felt your warmth, smelled your smell
Blessed hands touched each other
As we played and explored
Safe with you my Brother
Feeling loved and adored
Silky warm skin
laying still in your grace
My chest on your chest
Tears rolled down from my face
The flood gates burst open
Emotions poured out
Been held in for years
With fear, pain and doubt
Let it go, release
Was all I knew to do
In the space you gave me
When you said, "I've got you"
Beautiful Heart
Sweet, soft soul, like no other
Sacred to me forever
I love you big Brother
