Until We Are Soft Again

Shauna Richmond

I know a place

where living takes flight

where we can plant willow and watch them grow

gracefully cascade to the ground

and together we can bring life to

the parts forever shaded

as we share oxygen

and flashes of light kiss our skin

through life we created

a place with crystal clear streams

forever changing, yet still the

same

where ery twist and turn

we’ll be held close

until we’re soft again
