Come closer my friend Let me touch your stiff shoulders There now, That sigh spoke of a thousand battles you never seem to win. Sit down, let me hold your hands They are cold, when was the last time You noticed touching them together? And when was the last time you noticed, really noticed, touching anything? What did it feel like And did it say what you wanted it to say? Talk with me my friend Tell me what it is you'd like to say Just as if you felt safe enough to share The thoughts that are trapped inside those tears Yes, I understand, it was scary at first, Telling me what you thought were your secrets Oh, now you laugh, Well, that sigh was lighter, freer Thank me? For What? For a touch, a tear and a talk? It sounds like a new soap opera Sorry, I embarrass easily I do accept your thanks most humbly And I will ask something in return Take this experience with you Walk tall and lightly Notice how that feels, to feel good Greet your loved ones in a way That they experience your love And remember to touch a tense shoulder Every now and then And give yourself to that moment Thank YOU, I feel full and touched myself Maybe I wouldn't have noticed myself Had I not taken time to Be with you. Sorry, I don't know the author or title. Does anyone know? Please let me know if you do. Farzin Mokhtarian ( ubc-vision!mokhtar )
