All Things Touch

Everything touches
In one way or another I know in my heart
I am touching you all the time
The air breathes life into me the air you breath
In my shower the water once touched your skin
The wine you drink was once the grape I drove past
The lipstick you wear on those lips which never touched mine
Once touched me as when I think of kissing you I have
Where is not important
Only you
I am thankful to tears for you
In the world we call reality
Though never the same
I have
Another world I created
unreal they touch
Through me
In me and through me
I may touch love
You may love
Other than me
Happy for you as
You are loved by
More than me
And in their love for you
I am inside the circle of love there
Hoping and blessing sending nurturing
In that I think of your love
I love
All things as all things touch
