Can We Eat Now?

Touch me!
Now close your eyes.
Touch me again.
'I can't!
Where are you?
You have gone! '
I am still here!
You made that clear.
'Yes...
But you are not near! '
Does that mean you have forgotten
We touched?
'No.'
Does that mean my voice is not heard?
'No.'
Then in your mind,
I am as close to you than I have ever been!
You have felt my presence.
And with you that will always remain.
'Can we eat now?
You have made your point! '
