Until your touch
I had lost all belief
The smile I strived to share
Just concealed grief

With no light source
Respite from endless night
Was just a cherished dream
Beyond my plight

All cries for help
Fell on ears of the deaf
Tomorrow’s meaningless
When no hope’s left

But miracles
Are more than fairy tales
Such changes can occur
When love prevails

I can’t explain
The wondrous sensation
Your strong arms provided
My salvation

If you question
Why I need you so much
I never really lived
Until your touch

Nothing like love opens us to the miracles of life and makes us fit for life. Live, live, dear Ruth, beautiful Poetess.

You expressed your heart's emotions so captivatingly here.

Love,

ms suthern, they say the touch is almost a metal feeling the first time..something jagged that leaves little pricking holes of want more..enjoyed your work here

(big huggies) Oh Suthern, this made me tear up reading because I believe this resonates as a personal anthem to many as it does to you, and I can certainly relate to this wholeheartedly..........as I went so long distant from social life, yet silently suffered for so long, because all I really wanted was to be touched........spiritually, physically and compassionately.........and I too never feel like I really lived until this year, and that is why I feel reborn and there's this unimpeachable bliss I've never felt before in my heart through all the social connections and risks I've made and taken!

(huggies) I'm sooooooooooo happy that you, too, have been touched and live with sensation and wonder, my friend, bless you wholeheartedly!

XOXO,

Ohhh, what a beautiful feeling you have captured here Ruth. It is true. Sometimes it takes the touch of another to wake us up to begin to live again. Loved this.

Best wishes and hugs,
