All you have to do is touch my hand
To show me you understand
And something happens to me.
That's some kind of wonderful.

I pray for the gift of silence, Of emptiness and solitude, Where everything I touch is turned into prayer:

Please give me something
because someday I might know my heart.

Holy, to me just one glance is holy
One touch of your heart to me that's holy...

The longing to touch / be touched. I feel gratitude when I touch someone — as well as affection, etc. The person has allowed me proof that I have a body — and that there are bodies in the world.

Oh! If you would only walk
into this room
again and touch me anywhere
I swear
I would not long for heaven or
for earth
more than I'd wish to stay there
touched
and touching you

It would be nice to be touched by hands that didn’t want to kill or congratulate me. Sometimes the hands that want to kill me are mine.

with silent passion
for one gesture
one glance
from you

I am in prayer. I am one hand, this Universe the other.

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand.
O, that I were a glove upon that hand
That I might touch that cheek!

A Conceit

Give me your hand

Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.

Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.

For me
Give me your hand.

Maya Angelou, American poet, author, and civil rights activist (1928–2014)
