Carol Mitra Poet Free verse

Hands

Are our hands the antenna to our souls?
As we sew, cook,paint and touch the earth
Sending signals of caring to our soul
Healing and calming us down!

How do we handle pain?
This pain in our minds
That harden our souls
Eased by the touch of our hands!

Our hands and hearts are connected
Lovers touching and holding hands
Nature blossoming with tender touch
We see a whole life lived in old hands

And it won’t hurt as much
As you learn to embroider
The essence of your soul into
The creation of your heart into a whole!
