Sense of Touch
June 4
I am thankful for the sense of touch. Touch enables us to sense pressure, heat, pleasure, and pain. It also allows us to fine tune our motor skills by the feedback we receive from touch. It is interesting that feeling is a safeguard: people without feeling are much more likely to injure themselves.
This is a photo taken at a couple's wedding that my brother Fred and I did together.
touch
my nerve endings
have sensed something
a signal generated
to my brain brings
it is interesting
that degrees of touch
have their responses
differing by much
a slight brush
might elicit pleasure
a little more
an itch begins to stir
a harder pressure
then a little more to the brain
from pleasure it goes
and becomes outright pain.
