You've planted ideas for many of us who seem to be running out of poetry themes. Now I'm thinking of someone's eyes, lips, feet, heart, memories, imaginations...The list could go on.

The pressing, or joining together of hands is a universal gesture across many different cultures. Having spiritual significance, symbolizing energy, intention, friendship, comfort, and at times it declares: 'Hey, I'm connecting with something way bigger than me.' In Christianity hands hold sacred significance as seen in the laying on of hands for blessings, and for healing. rlc
Everything about this is an amazing poem. The structure. The subject. And the cliincher at the end. The human hand is so expressive, those with hearing difficulty can actually converse with hand sign language.
The observant eye and mind at work again. The chronical of hand gestures is such a comment on choice, as every reference reminds us of how much we need to touch, and yes... hold on for life. Your painting is also so complimentary with its ghost like aura eminating from the tips. Loved this one.
Inspirational poetry, written from the heart and soul. Verses that are well-suited for reading on a rainy day and that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
