TELLING ME THROUGH TOUCH

My body ignored
for so long
too long
left longing for touch.

Gentle, yet firm
massage strokes
come in through
my soul's skin
tapping
      touching
        massaging
          messaging.

Telling me through touch
I am beautiful
I am enough
I am loved
I am worthy.

Beautiful body
sinking into
the table.
Beautiful body
lying still,
still on the table
as my spirit soars
and soul takes flight.

Cinda's trained
yet intuitive hands
are rhythmically
sweeping away tension,
stiffness and pain.
Soothing old memories,
wiping away body tears.
