Touching Life

My time flows uninvited

as I hear the quiet whispering.

I breathe the summer rain

sprinkling on my face.

I unlock my world

to touch life unfolding

My fingers search

for your heartbeat.

Laughter and wisdom

passion and sensuality

pump in my veins

I feel the beat.

I hum as I leave a kiss

in your bed.

I feel the flutter

of a butterfly within

and feel love

flitting in the air.

I grasp the space

around me

hold it to my embrace

as I talk to myself.

I close the eyes

that see no pictures.

I face the sting of the wind

and feel its strength.

When dark night falls

I can see no void.

My senses take me

traveling to places

I’ve never been before.
