Fragile Existence

Photography—Maryline Roux

Hold your breath

God is nearby—

a tower in the Sky

with no rooftops to reach


He made you for He’s

A Sculptor.

Contours and lines,

fullness and voids,

He pierced the stone

one beat—one by one

A touch; irreplicable

 

If at times, in between sobs 

land a hand  

familiar to my pores 

so seldom nudged, 

let me believe that I exist; 

 

At the sound of your touch 

my Soul returns 

to your makings and your presence 

like a shadow— 

just as it is
