Soft touch

It was a Birthday, which seemed to be forgotten.

A cake came too late, no hands touched mine

and there were no special candles, as there were

in older Times.

One gift arrived. In Time, as always.

You may try, to wonder, why.

Stamps were collected by my father,

in silence.

He who does not participate in your culture

manifestations, as I am protected within my circle.

The early morning, the afternoon and the late

evening, gave one sound, a gesture of a soft touch.
