come

dusk arising



Come with me,
hold my hand,
I need the closeness,
human compassion.
Let us venture
to a place I go alone.
The place where
peace should dwell
but has been corrupted
by fear of the unknown.
Where aches, fears
and misgivings
fill the peaceful day.
Seek not to reassure me,
just hold my hand a while.

      There was an old song by the Four Tops called Reach Out. Which is what we all should do when those times of need come to us. Thanks Yellowrose.

      That song is worth a listen by the way.

        I had a hug with my twin sister the other day ... it felt so nice . I think a 30 second hug is supposed to release a feel good hormone .. aswell

        I will look for the song

            Yes, there are times when its just the right thing.

            I am glad that you've written this dusk arising, as it reminds us that although we have a brain to think, we also have a heart to feel.

            We are not robots, we are humans, and we need to keep in touch; to hold on to both a sense of belonging, and a sense of general happiness too.

            Thank you for sharing, bravo, and I hope that all is well!
