Tactile caring for each other and our earthling friends

I think this is a  hard one

but one that must be said

all creatures great and small react

to another’s touch

I am fed

up with human beings

who have sensory organs

but they

rarely use them

for positive good

our skin

can heal, I say

The masseur

what is she doing

she is touching another, she

kneads and gives some energy

helping the other to see

to feel to realize another’s

power is there to care

to cure to love the sensation

that each of us can share

we  have become less tactile

less trusting

less just less

we pick up a kitten

we stoke it

and its stress

levels

you can feel them lower

you hear its loving purr

animals are tactile

and once some of us were

Pigs have been mistreated down the ages

as we know

pigs are so intelligent

and have feeling and they show

them if you ever bothered

to get nearer to them they

will show you all their feelings

for that is a pigs way

we too do have feelings

of love and want to care

may be just hold someone’s hand

but are we that aware

do we want to hold their hand

to us we’ve lost that  spark

the world has lost that energy

everywhere’s more dark

Light however small can

open doors for those who try

true manipulation of each other

now is why

touch the art of touch

gives pleasure  and soothing too

and animals respond to all of us

of course they do

we have to be more tactile

give more of what we possess

our skin is amazingly sensitive

as is the pigs

and stress

is caused by lack of tactile touch

a gentle hand can do

much more than the medicine

they try to pump in you

a smiling face a soft hand

perhaps a little oil

caressing someone has such power

it never is a foil

for anything beyond a way

of the being of the thought

a mother with a baby

in that live moment caught

the pig the cat the wild Lion

all enjoy that feeling

that touch of someone else

it is very revealing

and the lack of it

makes for difficulty

in relationships I feel

because humans are like animals

that are so very real
