I will walk among my fellows, hold their
hands and study their eyes. That’s all I need
to do. If God exists, surely it’s where
touch and sight meld within us, spirit’s seed
nourished by heat and light flowing from nerves
to brain, to heart, to gut and groin. We
know our universe through senses, deserve
our sixth sense leading us to faith. We’re free
to choose whether to live, to recognize
heartbeat and breath as gifts opening our minds
to all that’s possible. Free to despise
and despair should we choose fear, even find
insanity safer than love. But I
find you, love, by seeking with hand and eye.
