Bite Size Poem No. 72 - Sponsor: Line Gauthier

September 22, 2023

My breath was but a soft whisper, not enough to ruffle the leaves of a willow but he heard me crying in the moonlight. With tender kisses he soothed my fears, held me close within the circle of his arms, until I no longer had reasons for my tears.

It would be if I were in her place. I’m reminded of the song, ‘Try a Little Tenderness.’ Thank you for commenting.
