poetry
how it soothes
the soul
quietly lingers
as thoughts
finger
their way through
to you

tender, tender
comes sweet word
soft in whisper
lovingly heard

he says he shall
put it away
save it for
another day
she says she shall
safely wrap
all the missives
in her lap

o poetry,
what a gift
some simple lines
give hearts lift

no mere cards
of Hallmark fame
are none better
for a poet’s chain
of words in rhyme
or in verse run free
as these simple
words
from you to
me

poetry

how it soothes
the soul

quietly lingers

as thoughts
finger

their way through

from me

to you

wh, yes, poetry can do and be all that, you've said it softly and tenderly, sprinkling your words down the page

both writing and reading soothe the soul, do they not?
