(THE POWER OF HER EMBRACE)
THE MUSIC... PLAY AS YOU LISTEN.
https://youtu.be/SNMTnFmDE7Y

Of all things to miss a woman's touch is the most painful of things to miss.
Man standing alone against a cold and brutal world, he would seek a woman's embrace.
The softness of her skin, he reflected in her eyes, he reflective in her soul.
Mind spinning free fall into flights of fancy, he pictures they holding hands on beach, son reflecting on waters surface.
He imagining waking to her voice, the day in the background, the night in the future.
Promises of so many of these to come, he knows his love would penetrate the deepest spaces, echo across the cosmos.
It would be spoken of in reverent tones as spirituality is taught in modernistic schools of great thought.
Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee in full magnitude, the deepest subbass rumbling, pressure pressing down, gravity keeping them locked in orbit.
Her touch are the cells that keep him mortally wounded, alive to the reality, they give him the ability to leave this planet, searching for the answer that would give them this visuality, the ability to see across the great void.
Man alone existing in the darkness and waiting for her light... A touch... He awakes.
