About the Poem
Something so gentle and tender as a kiss will forever serve to remind us that love always has been (and always will be) such a binding part of the human experience. It has trickled down through the ages until now. In the same way, remnants of our love for each other will continue on through the ages affecting those who follow after us.
This poem was written after spending some time one beautiful summer day with a close friend of mine. Ironically the man who created the moment that inspired this poem has never seen it. Likewise, we too never know the consequences of our love in the lives of others...still, I encourage you to share your love openly for it brings out the hidden beauty in those that you care for and changes the world that we live in.
In a Touch |

| Kiss me and know As your lips brush mine That you are touching a thousand summer days four hundred winter nights sleepless and cold the sand from the farthest star and the earth beneath our feet the music of the first one who sung the faith of the first one who prayed the magic of the first one who dared to be something more to go farther to search deeper the dreams of many scattered through the skies moondust and star-stuff hope joy and love circulating through the universe contained within a single drop of dew. |
