Sometimes my hand is
more.

Sometimes the world stretches
near to meet my caress.

Turning as time in holy
devotion.

Sometimes my hand is the dawn.

Palm to the night...while the day
burns the back in a rise of
expectations.

And sometimes my hand is
only this.

With nothing held and nothing
offered -

Sometimes my hand is
just a hand.

This is simply stunning in its beauty, dear Eric.

The hand symbolizes all that we can give and receive .... a touch of light, of love, of warmth, of beauty ...

Your hands hold and share great sparks of truth and ..... love is truth.

I love you.

and sometimes just a hand is all that is needed.

Well done!

Incredibly lovely. *S* But it's when it's just a hand that it brings the most light... as it reaches out to a friend. *S*
