Senses: Touch

From the sensitive tips of fingers and toes

To the inner arm and under knees.

Touch is love

is comfort and vulnerability.

You are sensing the world around you

In this very moment

your body recognizes the pressure at your back

as a hand of a loved one,

and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up

as a thrilling chill rushes through you.

Nerve endings always processing

while you go about your daily life

Interacting with the wind blowing your hair

and the rain pelting your skin.
