Best Softening Poems
Softening the HazeTo watch the early nightfall peep, as I
Relish the scent of air passing nearby,
While verdant grassland breathes of newborn hay
Unwinding the busy haze of Friday;
The ripple of homespun hours wafts and then
A dappled sky folds plates undone,
Till softened kisses moist a wheezing...

Softening Emotionwalking on eggshells
floating in the stream
whispering babbles
caressing
upon earth
faraway eyes

Faith cries “Do Not Be Afraid!”
One human experience cries fear, fear!
It is the still...

Softening AttentionWe look to scriptures to quieten mind,
as affirmations are comforting,
until we get to cessation,

with no agenda,
save to savour flavour
of the flow of life throbbing
as we watch it’s pulse rise and fall;

and a little bit of that

Softening AttentionLooking back at life lived so far,
we fear we have drifted afar.
Boon now bane, gift of thought, a curse;
heed musings of the universe!
That that comes and goes, unreal,
so invoke bliss that holds appeal.
Resting then narrow thought forms terse,
heed musings of the...
