It was only a touch.

No less a prayer than winds that brush
devout in their passing.

Listen to the earth sigh its holy
pleasure to the night.

It was only a touch.

And yet my world still trembles.

You have a way of catching universal feelings in these little poems, and giving a fresh view of them....

Once again, you touch our hearts and our souls with your gentleness and Light.

Sing to me your songs of love and I shall answer with my heart.

Thank you, dear one.

Love and Light...jc

Beautiful expression Ericc~
This rocks and rolls, like an aftershock    
that quakes beneath the surface.

Enjoyed this, very much~
