The Art and Skill of Touch
It is a dance of sorts,
Not simply a caress, but
Possibly an artful intention
Of pleasure for the other,
Certainly moments of meaning,
Skillfully designed and delivered.
It is the elegance of
A well-placed hand,
Followed by the ecstasy of
A well-planned touch.

Touching is so very important. Whether we intend to do so or not, we communicate much more than we realize by our touch. Whether petting our favorite dog or cat, rocking a baby, or hugging our better half, touching is what makes us finer humans. Okay, just in case you are thinking of the current headlines, this is not the Donald Trump kind of touching. We should be smarter than that, and I know we are. skp
