So Lightly I Was Touched Poem by Jonathan Platt

So lightly I was touched,
So soft I hardly knew,
Like a breeze on morning flowers
That does not vex the dew.

As light as eyelids drooping
Over sleepy, new-born eyes.
As soft as moth wings flapping,
Or flutter of butterfly.

As light as footsteps falling
On the meadow of a dream.
As soft as silver moonlight
Caressing a purling stream.

So lightly I was touched,
So soft I hardly knew.
Her eyes touched me from a distance.
Could she feel my eyes now, too?
