Your Hugs
today I learned
I had never been hugged before
not the kind that melt you
like succulent chocolate
that fills your mouth
and sends tingles down your spine
or when the sun kisses
the last frost
and tickles the ground
for the first time in months
today I learned
I had never felt love's welcome
not the way that God
touches the sky
with blankets of color
before she sleeps
or the way a hot
towel snuggles
you after a cool
swim in the spring lake
today I learned
what it feels like
to be the bud that opens
herself completely to the warmth
what it feels like
for the pine tree
to have the weight of winter
melted from her body
today I learned to let go
and let care's passion
touch my soul when I stepped
in to your tender embrace
today,
