Comfort comes only moment by moment;
here we find mere fleeting feelings of ease. 

Softness and warmth offer brief embraces,
eager for savoring and for sharing. 

Care given is care taken. Care taken
becomes care spread: fingers that press into

heavy shoulders; shaky voices that stroke
broken hearts from afar; fresh blooms 

that issue soothing scents: pillows piled to
heaven, tuffets where our souls can settle.

 

love notes
a ritual to start the work week
