The Touch

The Touch

A spirit grew within ourselves
and reached out to be caught
upon the air of pure ideas,
a mathematics sought.

Reaching up to touch unknowns
and validate our being
we found the ones celestial
a confidence and trust
a sight beyond our seeing.

Reaching up our palms were touched
by love that’s so divine
and viewing just our living selves
a perfect edifice
we came to know that it exists
by a planned design.

Belief and thought have framed the world.
gave it balance and controls.
as well as structure for a life 
and blueprint for the soul’s.

I like this poem very much. Congratulations on your win. The culmination in 'balance', 'control', structure' and 'blueprint is decisive and yet leaves room for other opinions. Great, Kai
