Listening to every heart

0 posted 2004-01-19 03:32 PM




Just, Touch

Do not say you are
too busy
or that you have somewhere else
to be

All I ask
is that you just stay a moment
and touch the flesh
of me

for the return to you
of such a caress
would be unconditional,
more than
heaven-blessed, this

Love.

Just, touch,
and find a willing soul
one that will meet your dreams,
walk with you along the shoals.

Just, touch,
find that harmony,
that sense of loss you’ve come to know,
just touch your heart in me.

In the quiet,
for I shall not speak,
find all that was,
though yet you seek…

and lay here now,
quiet with me,
for I anticipate much, in your
Touch of me.

Sunshine,
  You and I must be on the same page today (This morning I wrote a poem about my faithful dog, Sam! And, this afternoon, after you read my poem about Robert,the guitar maker, you told me Robert is your brother and also a musician.   Too strange!   This is about the second or third time it has happened lately with your writes-you cover what is on my mind!      Seriously, I enjoyed your poem very much.

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, I truly believe all other beautiful creatures of God can truly relate to our feelings, as my cats and birds did as a little boy! (angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is fabulous!  My best friend is my 12 year old dog, she's been with me longer than my husband and kids.  With the ins and outs all day long, the swinging of the door, I can only imagine, in her eyes, it seems she's left behind for the rat race so often.  I think I'll go snuggle with her now.  Thank you for this paw-warming write!

Karilea, this:

"Just, touch,
find that harmony,
that sense of loss you’ve come to know,
just touch your heart in me."

this, was shear genius!  The whole write was lovely!  Thanks you for penning and sharing it.
