Things That Are Soft

Still Pond by Robert Popick

Softness delights and soothes me. Things that are soft.

  • My daughter’s fingers dancing across my face when she is 10.
  • My sea green cashmere t-shirt.
  • The surface of a still pond.
  • Kitten fur.
  • A lover’s mouth.
  • Waking up to Spring mornings.
  • A newborn cry.
  • The letter V.
  • The soles of my feet.
  • The Genuine Heart of Sadness

    I like:

    The softness of Annie’s breath on me while she sleeps
    Warm towels
    Our pillow top mattress
    The sigh of the wind in the trees in summer
    The light just before the dawn of a clear day
    The soft smell downwind of a lilac bush
    That painting

    And you in this mood.
