Tell me...with a voice soft
and close with sorrow -

"I am near"


Whisper to me...so I feel
your breath warm against
my ear -


"I am so close"


Say to me...only once -

"I am here...I am here"


Then touch me...your finger forever
sealing this secret to my lips -


And I will know.

Not sure I understand this but am terribly moved.  Are all writers so empathetic?  I think this piece is beautiful.  Barb

Eric, this is beautiful, with a sad note.
Kind of a wishful feeling in it.

(smiles) I think it's the fingertips that give off such that spark and impulse of truly felt love and magic, to leave one speechless like that is truly incredible! (big hugggssssssss) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ericc,

I really loved this.  Makes me anxious for my future love, whomever that may be.
