A Lingering Touch…

As people come into our lives
they place their hands upon our hearts
tapping on the pulse of our yearning for acceptance

as our rhythm alters it’s song to
accommodate these hands
we come to adhere to such sweet caress

our breathing times itself
to the gentle stroking of massaging fingertips
as they offer sustenance to our souls

as we live in this warm embracement of our spirit
we wake each morning knowing our hearts are held
in a safe nesting place high above the perilous ground
of emotional predators

as the winds of change encompass our lives
we suddenly find these hands have been carried away
by the gusty gales of abandonment

as our hearts are cast to a cold isolation
we bear the gentle radiance of a lingering touch
and find comfort in the warmth of the imprint
left upon our souls

Annie


May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...

This touches me greatly.
