Our Touch

What is it

To Touch a soul?

To feel a connection,

Something so bold?

 

Connection to one another,

Or connection to a thing.

Touch isn’t always physical,

Touch can make your soul sing.

 

Anyone can Touch another.

Could be a stranger or a friend,

Or even an object or a place,

Or things we may not comprehend.

 

That feeling when your inner self

Feels full of love and light –

You radiate a gorgeous glow,

And everything feels right.

 

Emotions truly run so deep

When experiencing life.

But what becomes of that graceful Touch,

When we’re experiencing strife?

 

Touch could be something

So graceful & sweet,

But on the other hand,

Can be so deceitful & weak. 

 

A Touch of love,

A Touch of hate,

No Touch at all,

Makes one insane. 

 

Some prefer to feel any way,

As long as it’s not lonely,

Sometimes things turn to gray

When all you want is someone to stay. 

 

One can Touch the lives of many,

Or many lives can Touch one being,

It all depends your way of seeing others,

And recognizing a true purpose of living. 

 

That’s why we must be conscious

Of how we interact

With every being in the world

So our universe can stay intact.

 

There’s so much more to life,

Than money, work, or school.

We must Touch each other mindfully

And use this as a tool

 

To see that we are in this together.

To embrace and uplift each other.

There’s nothing more important in this world,

Than to be united with one another.
