Touch Me
I longed to feel touch today
but had no hand to hold
and so I looked to an earthen way
the tenderness it longed to unfold
Down the beach I strolled
my feet upon sweet grains of sand
they reached in and hugged my toes
I found touch today in the land
The spray of the sea
tasted my lips
with a passionate plea
for one more kiss
When moody clouds concealed the light
his rain fell down and kissed my eyes
It ran its length down my hair
and caressed my skin like it cared
Just as I was about to leave
my rendezvous with natures love
the breath of God exhaled the wind
and playfully gave me a shove
I longed to feel touch today
feeling so very alone
that's when the earth made a way
to say in its embrace I am home
Sitting by the fire now
In a cozy gentle warmth
tears fall for I know not how
this loving day began with remorse
