Life line
If only for a moment I could remember the exact scent of your skin
If I could feel the warmth of your hand as you reach behind the seat of the car to touch my leg
If only for a moment could feel it again
The comfort. The love that was passed from your fingers into the very core of my being
If only for a moment I could hear your voice again. Not to hear the agonizing silence you give me in my dreams
Just a syllable
A small word to give me what I miss so much
It's a painful detail trying to find the lines in your face
You left me
And the cancer took you before you were ready to let go
It's crushing to knowing I will never touch your master hands again in this life
I miss the mysteries I could trace with every vein that led to the very center of your wisdom and your truth
The life line to your heart, our heart because God did make us one
I miss the other part of me
With your hands you left me your legacy
I hope to find your hands in mine
