I wish the fingertips
Of wind
Would graze my skin
Just a bit more gently

At times

For some days
I need a loving touch
A softly felt brush
To keep me going

One more day

"cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind"
~Sarah McLachlan~

Oh... I know this well!!! *S* I know, too, what it is to pray for a gentle breeze... and be slapped with a hurricane. *S*

I liked this very much, Susan... good luck! *S*

I've always envied water...especially if you were in it..it's ability to touch you entire body all at the same time....

Beautiful.

The fingertip is always there...although often unrecognized.
