As the Buddha touched the earth to
bear witness to his day -

I too am awakened.

And in the early morning
sunlight...

I gently stroke your lips.

You are the world that turns
beneath my fingers.

May you bear witness to
this day.

"You are the world that turns beneath my fingers"

Soul sentiments Eric.

Deeper still, the touch of that statement.
