Listen to poem:
Caress
Caress the stars that twinkle
the sprinkle of glints on seas
the leaf that lilts on gentle breeze
the flit of busy robin's tail
Caress the murmur of babbling brook
the lapping as puppy drinks from bowl
the rolling, rumbling peeling thunder
expectant soon, from pregnant flashes in sky
Caress the smell of rain on straw
the waft of bread baking
the scent of rose brushed by knees
the warmth of sweet baby's breath
Caress the ephemeral
what is seemingly out of reach
too deep to grasp, too far off to behold
a fleeting glimmer, a shimmering shiny sliver on hold.
