...and then you touched me

........and then you touched me

not in the usual fashion,

but deep within my soul's fancy

a fondling embrace that took flight

clutch'd and pique'd every relevant moment thereafter

life would forever be changed         yet

most everything stayed the same

except for deep within the recesses of time

breath stood still and the imprint within my heart,

lasting well beyond a lifetime of  endlessness 

still just a mere drop of water in an infinite sea

oftentimes, especially when it rains blissfully

i think of how you enveloped me for perpetuity

It is interesting how that one touch - perhaps fleeting - can stay with us forever...

Your poem reminds me of the first time my daughter wrapped her tiny hand around my finger and I knew nothing would ever feel like that again...nothing would ever be the same.

A beautiful poem my friend. You have touched my heart with this one.

You are always the best reminder of writing being a talent. It was beautiful and reading it the second time, I only wondered, did it flow as easily from your pen as it feels it did?

[Frieda P]

Travis you humble me with your kind words, thanks so much. This one just kind of wrote itself, those grand memories have a way of doing that...

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

That they do.
