Touch me — a prayer

Touch me with your spirit,

touch me until I am lit up

to the point of discovering

I am all light

and my rays

are all yours

and my desire

all comes from what you are,

what you impart

Touch me so I feel recognized

from the inside out

so I know

there is nothing of me

that you don’t know,

nothing you don’t love,

and the lift I feel

all along my form

is just me touching in

to what you have held for me,

what you have held me as,

how you have beheld me,

all my days.
