The Hug

Deep pressure, two hearts beating as one,
time stands stil, no sounds you hear, just two dear friends, lovers, their breath still….their hearts are slowing..

A embrace of two humans. God made us for this very human connection, without it, we are dead, close your eyes, hold your breath.


It’s the very thing that calms our fears, stress just melts away, even Jesus embraced his friends, why we don’t do this more is beyond me.

The hug,
Two arms around your shoulders,
Tightly squeezed 
No words needed ….

Friends reunited.. tears are unleashed from deep within their soul,
Must we hold it in,
Friends who have been hurt, 
Misunderstandings, harsh words were said,
A hug says everything words cannot.


A hug
when to let go,
let the other person decide,
one last squeeze, eye contact says it all,
the hug it will last a lifetime, two hearts, the soul is locked together as one..
