Outstretched hand

~*~

midpoint of palm’s grasp
feel the warm with which it clasps
then the breath of gasp

~*~

safe it holds one’s soul
my heart, there, in her soft hand
how does she do this?

~*~

never to feel again
too far gone in life, then love
breathed in me again

~*~

remarking in sigh
articulates same to me
outstretched hands entwine

~*~




write with grace, all others lose face;
"Jo was very tall, thin, ... and reminded one of a colt..." LMA

An outstretched hand is always a sign of welcome.  It means there is a heart in need of nourishment.  Well done, Lady.
