The Touch
copyright ©1999 by Stephen Craig
I reached out to you
finding the tear
resting sadly
on your cheek.

And in that moment

soothed it
into the gentle
texture of your skin.

There, my fingers

holding you.
I touched the surface
of your soul.
You searched
to find the meaning
of my touch.
And so
came to touch me
in return.

And touch within touch

heart within heart
and soul within soul
we came together
in perfect symmetry.
