A hand unfolds my layers
of dreams that make me fall
In dust I have been born
and in it I found my all
My voice was turned to fury
for years of silent pain
Of being taken by pressure
and wanting it again
This hand reaches in
with a depth I can see
Of distant morning suns
which reveal to me
A tower of strength
to what I may become
More pressure than mercy
for the things undone
And like heavens waiting
to turn to me again
What manner of human
has this creature ran
So wake and find you
your hands upon my face
Given sweet lip kisses
that awaken your grace.

elegant and very profound, the human contact of hands has always touched us. You lay it out in a very beautiful poem.

Michael,
Your words are always so deep and filled with emotion. Beautiful words from the warmest of hearts. You are destined for greater things MG so be prepared as your words will one day speak for themselves. Not just once, but again, and again, and again......For I have believed in you since your very first word and I will never stop believing. Unique you are to me, and so very special.
Take Care
As Always

Your imagery here is perfect Michael.  Once again I can so easily visualise what you are conveying.  Is there any doubt that you are a famous published poet!!!  Well, at least you are to me......
