if handled very tenderly
absence can sometimes make a space
for sweetness to enter
The Missing Windowpane
A Walk With Dad
becoming one’s self
in the care and comfort
of his attention
Needing
the tenderness
of this morning’s
soft pink sky
Between And Beside
amidst the prickly places
filaments of tenderness
keep calling for touch
Spring Morning In The Garden
a feast
of delicacies
for eyes and insects
Gently
a dawning
tenderness
the universe’s embrace
Aide Memoire
the tender dawn
reminding me
to go gently into the day
Goodwill
tender pink
the wild bloom
benevolence of simplicity
Bedtime
tenderly the day
kissed the sky
goodnight
The Power Of Love
tender hearts
reach to warm
the cold, hard granite
Surrender
a tender pink sky
softened the world
strife surrendered
Herd on the Hill
the gentle slope
the tender grass
sweet lazy grazing
