Cozy Contemplations - 23. Chapter 23 Embrace

The power of touch....

Cozy Contemplations

 

 

Chapter 23: Embrace

 

 

Don’t speak

Just gather me in

And hold tight

 

No, don’t speak

Just breathe

As you envelope me

 

Let me feel

Your heart beat

Against mine

 

Let me hear

Your breath

In my ear

 

Let me scent

Your humanity

And your essence

 

Reach up

And glide your fingers

Through my hair

 

Cup my skull

As a mother would

Her child

 

Tell me

With your arms

I matter

 

Reassure me

With your embrace

That I am not

 

Alone

 

 

*

Thanks for reading. :)

Chapter Comments



The most basic of human needs--touch.  Before any other sensations can form, we are warm and protected in the womb, and the next we have is of a soothing heartbeat.  There is something seriously wrong with a culture that discourages such things to any degree, but more so in those where artificial barriers are instilled...children need such reassurances from both parents, but that is often deemed 'unmanly' for a father and son.

Beyond such disparagement, those wo do mange to show affection are in for accusations of being effeminate, or even harboring carnal desires where those aren't intended at all. 

It's a miracle that families can continue to exist in this era where any expression of caring is seen as potential sex crime.

Thank you, society for seeing evil in any simple act of humanity.  'Love one another as you would yourself'--right, as long as they hold your views, the rest can be lost in the Outer Darkness.  Merely policing speech of any hints of incorrectness doesn't make the world a better place...that can be done only by truly accepting everyone as your brother without reservation.

I say, 'bully' for Gary, for reminding us of our most common link as a species.

Society certainly has changed, hasn't it? There are more and more pitfalls in relationships, family or otherwise, yet the one thing that hasn't changed is our need for simple human contact. We need the closeness, and the reassurance and support that gives us. Thanks buddy, for seeing to the heart of things they way you do. Gary xoxoxo :hug:
