loving healing caring––
three words in the shape
of a prayer––
the hands of the doctor
on the skin
blesses the flesh
like rain
how much wisdom &
kindness to share
in a touch?
it is a love
affair for the body––
an old lady
with a stiff hip
becomes almost instantly
young again
shadows of pain
run from the light
the doctor serves
the well-being
of the village––
the village breathes
thanks––
skillful caring
frees their bodies from
pain––
heals injuries
& memories of
injuries––
suffering
is forgotten
& passes
away
this is what
love does––
love
makes people happy
from the inside
of the heart
