a dawning
tenderness
the universe’s embrace
Aide Memoire
the tender dawn
reminding me
to go gently into the day
Remembered
forget me not
the gentlest reminder of
the enormity of tiny pleasures
Herd on the Hill
the gentle slope
the tender grass
sweet lazy grazing
Care
Heaven bathes the sweet pea
with the gentlest of raindrops.
Shy
watching from the woods
a gentle soul
gages her safety
Knowing
This is the deer who knows my soul
and seeks me out to remind me
of the gentleness of wildlife.
