softness

softness

be soft

like a gentle
midsummer evening
breeze

the world needs
your heart

not your
prejudice
not your
defensiveness
not your
labels

don’t hide
behind words

love
the unknown
that territory of senses
and visual concepts

how can I
be like water
around
people
places
principles
that upset me?

how can I
melt into movement
not get stuck
in right wrong
thinking:
depart from the
box?

be soft
tension takes effort
relaxation is our nature
a more original state

be soft

like a feather
gently stroking
your skin

like an exhale
that lets out
a spontaneous sigh

let gentleness
lead your way

begin to feel
your way forward
