Rosemary from Poets and Storytellers United asked us to answer the question, ‘What soothes you?’
What soothes me
When the black of night breaks,
And light filters through the cracks,
Sun rays stroke and soothe me,
Promising a new day of possibilities.
When life
forges tears from stale air,
From moldy thoughts and a polluted mind,
It draws me out, where the rustling leaves
Of swaying trees lull me back to peace.
A quiet hum, a
gentle hush,
Sending a gush of glee,
A soothing sound stirs my soul,
The sphere of music makes me whole.
And
oh, being spoon-fed with niceness,
Wrapped in layers of tenderness,
Warming my heart with a velvety feel,
Each phrase a soft, soothing feather
