The Touch of Life

The Touch of Life

The Touch of Life
Fed by rotation
Stimulated by light
And access thereof

Growth with 
Volumes of love
Then Growth
Takes a sabbatical

The Touch of life
Is put on pause 
As rotation is 
Put at bay

When growth returns
Because of its release
Life continues 
Because it never left
Only put on delay


The touch of life
Our thoughts
Our containments
Our hidden desires

Not even known 
By ourselves
Or understood

Put forth growth
To contemplate 
To reach for
Until the touch
Has passed us by
