Hugging Now

Here on earth at this very moment,
lovers caress, fathers and mothers
hug their children, children
run their fingers through the fur
of dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils.
Don't be confused by what you hear.
Love happens in quietness.
Here on earth at this very moment,
lovers caress, and hugs
outnumber acts of pain
a million to one.
