Your Hand

Your Hand...

Touched the back of my neck in the darkness,
A comfort without words...

It was not despair that gripped me
Just this relentless life, and the weight of learning to live it...

To be loved in the lonely and secret places,
By tenderness...by silence

With only the touch of your hand
