A Handshake

What's in a Handshake ?

Is that an Open Hand ?

Is it an Invitation ?

A Recommendation ?

Is my pausing for Observation

A reluctant Reservation

Of Hesitation

Contributing to my present Consternation and Perseveration ?

The Open Palm of your Hand

Like a Turtle on its back

Vulnerable  

Its wriggling, upended digits Hopefully Expectant 

Seeking Terra Firma

Common Ground

If I Touch the Open Palm of your Hand

With the Open Palm of my Hand

And we Share the cordially Expected HandShake

Will my World rumble, tumble and Quake ?

Will the Palm Bond and Shake

Be a Mis-take ?

Or the Shining Opportunity of a LifeTime ?

My LifeTime ?

Your LifeTime ?

This simply complicated Complexity of an Open Hand

An extended Open Hand……and Shake…….
