What sooths me

 

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,
whispering a promise of possibilities.

When life forges tears from stale air,
from moldy thoughts and a restless mind,
it draws me out, where rustling leaves
and swaying trees lull me to peace.

A quiet hum, a gentle hush,
a breath of wind, a soothing rush,
a melody stirring deep inside,
as music wraps me whole.

And oh, the gift of kindness—
wrapped in layers of tenderness,
warming my heart with a velvety touch,
each word a soft, soothing feather.
