THERE IS PROFUNDITY IN TOGETHERNESS

My hands will glow,
rising higher, ebbing
and flowing
with the gold-glass sea.
Herald of angels in our midst
as we kiss the feet of Christ.
For the earth is His hassock. 

My soles will rejoice
as they crush
sweet-scented petals.
Invisible to the naked
eye. Good news spreads fast.
A whirlwind of death to life.

My arms will reach
the pinnacles of
pearly gates. There’s healing
in each touch, a cure

to empathize with hurts,
not lording over, but 
holding on, catching
each tear.

There is profundity
in togetherness,
in what we share.
Strength of mine
delivered to the weak
and the next time
I am the weak.

"My arms will reach the pinnacles of pearly gates. There’s healing in each touch, a cure".......... I too agree with you and Sara. There is healing in each compassionate touch. When we are strong, we can share our strength with the weak and when we become weak others will strengthen us. Thus there is profundity in togetherness ! This is possible through the grace of God. Beautifully written Kim.
