Human Contact (2013 re-write)

Is it wrong to miss being held?
To miss the memory of muscle and bone, 
warmed by consciousness, enlivened by soul;
the familiarity of the fit… 
each curve, crevice and limb crafted to precision,
giving credence to “intelligent design”;
or the moment, when egos lifted, learned behavior and reason 
are burned away in the light of recognition;
that fleeting yet rapturous moment when 
souls recognized, meet, accept and give unconditionally…
and when with transitory reprieve, 
Eden is recreated in a touch, glance and gladdened heart?

If eyes are the gateway to the soul
then touch offers the map
breath the wind in our sails… and
Honesty… the cost of admission.


Is it wrong to miss…being held…
the memory of muscle and bone, 
warmed by consciousness and 
enlivened by soul;
the familiarity of the fit… each curve, crevice and limb crafted to precision,
giving credence to “intelligent design”?

To miss the moment, when the veil lifted… 
ego, learned behavior and reason are
burned away in the light of temporary recognition…
that fleeting yet rapturous moment when 
souls meet, accept and give unconditionally…
and when with transitory reprieve, 
Eden is recreated in a touch, glance and gladdened heart?

If eyes are the gate way to the soul
then touch offers the map
breath the wind in our sails… and
Honesty… the cost of admission.
