XO #NewNormal #A2Z

 XO


abbreviation (hugs and kisses)



Remember once upon a time

We would hug people

we would kiss loved ones

we would touch without fear

we would cherish the warmth 

now we have a scarcity

and most scarce is 

what we took for granted

"Human Touch"

  1. I can feel your poetry. The most scarce thing today is what we took for granted - and that is 'Human touch '!

  4. Bruce Springsteen has a song Human Touch...we definitely all need it. Sometimes we can feel it in words, but it is not the same as a kiss or a hug. ♥

  6. The fear has soar so much with the ongoing situation, that even the nearness of closed ones leaves us fearful.

  7. Great use of X! Hugs and Kisses are wonderful.
    I love letter X posts! Always such variety.
    It's hard to believe the blogging challenge is almost over. Then the after survey, reflections, and the road trip sign-up.
    Plus, I'm taking part in the Bout of Books read-a-thon in May. So much excitement!

  8. So, so true! We may get hugs back here before we get kisses -- but I cannot wait until both are safe again. https://mollyscanopy.com/2021/04/x-bedroom-i-have-to-move-atozchallenge/

  9. oh so true.. we have met one of our friends (our pod so to say) a few times during this past year but yes, we have done so at social distances.. and definitely missing that most basic of things the human touch..
