For Aaron <br />Who dares to judge the lonely, who dares to question their intention? <br />Who dares to hold them in contempt, who dares to attempt intervention? <br />The combination, of empathy and care, holding firm their spiritual connection, <br />A genuine sharing of eternal love and everlasting affection, <br />A bond formed, in the depths of desperation, with nothing more than each other, <br />The love they share is deep, longing, not that of a mere temporary lover, <br />A tender touch between two lost and lonely spirits, reassuring one another with the gentlest caring caress, <br />Transforming fear, allaying loneliness and pain, pacifying insecurity, under extreme duress... <br />Hiding in each other’s protective, secure, eternal embrace, <br />Free to feel and love in this sacred, spiritual, place, <br />Seeking asylum from their self inflicted torment, an invisible prison confining in eternal isolation, <br />Feeling the loneliness associated with complete and unimaginable desolation.... <br />In each other they trust and find solace enough to continue their journey through the ages, <br />Methodically flipping through the days with little else, like a book with countless pages, <br />Now they soar upon each other’s wings higher, until the earth surrenders to darkness, <br />Free at last to be themselves, in adoring company, so free and utterly self-less... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We construct our own prisons of pain......Reach out before it’s too late.....someone is waiting for you somewhere.... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Janelle Sheridan <br />(Sept.2010)<br /><br />Janelle Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tender-touch-2/
