Sample and Hold

Every ripple and ridge hardening
Warm kisses bestowed
Finger tips with practised touches.
To sample and hold.

Cradling.

Feeling movements within
Slow tempo caresses.

Eyes watching.

Ears listening.
 
Awaiting the songbird.

Feel the body tense,
Hear the breathing quicken,
The tempo increased.

Watching.

Witnessing.

Surrendering.

Held Captive in caring hands.

Showing the love flowing forth.

As the songbird sings again.
