To Be Held

To be cradled and held like a baby
To sleep in your arms
To feel ease in this body
To trust enough to release the holding
To relax all limbs without fear of invasion
To feel heart in your caressing...
provides rich soil for this body-mind.

I wonder what it would be like to be touched like this for the rest of my days?
