SOFT

A soft sound is gentle as falling snow
that rests for a moment in a tall pine
as whispers of breeze urge it on below
to begin a softly sculpted design

A summer dusk with lavender shadows
that soften and gentle a stone pathway
or, tall grass and flowers in the meadows
softly nodding in breeze at end of day

Soft music filling the air soothing souls
As day offers her brightest charms to night
and stars softly appear, fulfilling roles
of lighting the skies along with  moonlight

Softly spoken words can cool anger's heat
and cause mellower thoughts to now appear
soft is baby's skin, smelling fresh and sweet
Soft is holding a lonely person near.

There is an air of delicacy, calmness and tranquility that runs through each of your stanzas Ann. I particularly like your final stanza. Your poem serves as a 'time-out' from the noise and bluster of the modern world. Good to read you back at The Soup. Cheers - Gary

Thank you so much, Gary! I forgot one soft: soft vanilla ice cream on freshly-baked, warm apple pie. Yum! Wish I had some right now :) I appreciate your comments, Gary. Take care.
