Sense Of Touch

Nothing's more private than touch; other senses can't match it. Without touch's tactile contact, we'd all miss out on so much. I bask in the sensation of sunbeams stroking my skin. Touch links me to Nature; it's my tether to creation. My cat's fur has a soft feel, luxuriously silky. And I enjoy petting it, as her blissful purrs reveal. When the wind tussles my hair, I feel its playful hijinks. And should a fly land on me, my sense of touch pinpoints where. Feeling my grandson wiggle, is a joyous sensation. I love to tickle his feet, and make his belly jiggle. My sense of touch lets me feel the reality of life. Exploring my surroundings, touch defines what is real.
