She Took My Hand

look at my hands, they're not the hands of a fisherman they're not the hands of a carpenter look at my hands and tell me how many miles do you feel across deserts and plains, they're not the plains of a hunter they're not the deserts of a fleer for days and nights of wandering, no, look at my hands, they're the hands of a poet, they're the hands of an observer a connector of concepts I have the hands of a moment with you

a truly magnificent poem, Clive! There's something personal and powerful about referring to a human's hands. I loved how you described the hands of a poet..observor and connector...hands of a moment with you. Marvelous...have to fave this one...enjoy your evening, Sara

This is so beautiful i especially love the line “ look at my hands, they're the hands of a poet,“ what a line! And that whole ending really is brilliant. I always think hands of a man especially says so much and shows so much for some reason. Not sure why.. pleasure reading this clive. Sending you blessings always
