If I Could Not


I could cover
you in cotton
place around
yards of silk
touch you
in gentle kindness
and give you
the fill of its milk
I could move
you a mountain
starting with
a grain of sand
but it would all
be worthless
if I could not
hold your hand

One touch is worth more than any words ever spoken. How did I miss this masterpiece?
I'm bumping it.

A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground
