Softly

The universe inhales softly

They look at you with wonder
You’re gently blessed with what they will

You inhale softly 

You look back at it all with wonder
It mirrors your gaze both intense and gentle

She holds you close far below the firmament
Tightly with pressed arms of cool soil
While he breathes warm life over you

I inhale softly

I look at you with wonder
Two wells overflowing

We can’t drink enough
So we rest on the surface until
Softly
Pulled along by our memories
We float into a river of stars
Softly
