The Touch

Tears well
heart tight in chest,
is this for the best?

Parting is always hard
hard on heart
hard on spirit
hard on body

such lonliness
hand outstretched
grasp of air

nobody there
millions of people
but no one there

The sense of finger on cheek,
eyes beginning to leak
no one there as such,
but you can feel.....................
The Touch

Warm,inviting,
deep heart rising
touch of heart
touch of spirit
touch of body

Touch,the best sense of all!
makes the heart,spirit and body freefall!
