Suddenly all I feel are your

hands on mine, rough and warm;

your heartbeat disrupts

the chaos, a welcome reprieve;

your fragrance clings to the

strands of my hair

and finally, I can breathe;

the world shrinks to just

you

and just me,

and I sense in the thickened air

that everything is OK.

    Beautiful, Ingrid. I love how this poem engages different senses, but not sight. I can see this one being interpreted in a few different ways, but to me, this is a beautiful description of God’s invisible but intimate presence coming upon us. Love it!
