Hold Me Like the Moon

Hold me in your arms like you would hold the moon. Explore the contours of my face as though wonders to behold. Hold me in your arms like the sun, feeling my fire, absorbing my warmth. Hold me in your arms like you would hold the earth, with my oceans and continents, like the center of your life. 8th Place Hold Me in Your Arms Contest Sponsor: Julie Rodeheaver 9/13/17
