Understand...Touch

People, I think
do not understand
how important it is
     to touch.
Mind, body, soul-
many touchings are important.
Touch the mind.
A million and more
synapses firing,
blasting one person into
intelligence sharpness vivacity.
How thrilling to find
A motive mind.
Touch the body.
Let base thoughts
     away
to truly touch it.
What is touched?
Wet supple lithe flesh
and more.
Touch the soul.
Catch the ephemeral
in a million small traps
daily.
Such
breadth depth light
so as to outpace the body and mind.
People do not understand
how strange beautiful it is
to touch
nor how important it is
when one
touches not,
sees only.
Sees void of mind,
slop of body,
want of soul.
Touch is knowing.
