. .Touch What is Touch? Life’s emphasis on expression. We communicate with Our hands. The confident hand Urging us on in our despondency. The touch of Empathy and sympathy. We create. Our thoughts, impossible to express, Flow through our hands and become tangible— Explicable. The miracle of a detached Attachment so intimate with Our souls. Beauty, rough and refined, Flows in and out of Our fingertips. The angle of individuality And the curve of conformity— Always with its barbs. The burlap of hate And the soft fur of understanding Run through our mind’s Bargaining hands. Which do we buy for the Garments of our soul? Touch decides. What is touch? ... The communication of souls.

Hi Mood What is Mood? Life’s emphasis on the abstract. Riotous Laughter bringing Upheavals of the face’s planes. Holding hands With capricious Whimsy, Skimming across the surface of the mind, Thinking lightly. Despondency blindfolds And takes us through the Labyrinth of dark passages... Or in circles. Where are we then? Sorrow rains in our eyes, Then gives his place to Thought. He picks up Life, Turning it carefully And slowly formulates An idea of its use. Thought answers the immediate And changes colors to Serenity. What is Mood? . . . The whimsy of the mind.
