Touch in Love

11 May 2006


You’ll never know that touch
unless this hand reaches out to you
To feel your soul, to touch your heart
to place a fingerprint from within

Maybe one day, your soul will be free
free to enjoy, free to float, free to fly
Wings outstretched, drying in the sun
a butterfly emerged from a cocoon

Those colours of beauty, this place to live
across a planet, as to its third rock to endure
You’ll never know those angels
the ones who encircle your heart

Unless His hand reaches out to you
His touch all in perfect spirit
Just to know you were wanted
just to know you were as pretty
as a butterfly, a bird on the wing
God made you, his touch was your love


“Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching
his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:”
Isaiah 5: 1 KJV
