Soft Sounds

The sun claps
all the world awake
with soft sounds
a baby's breathing
the cat's plaintive
hunger cry

No one's talking
yet I know
all is right
with cereal pouring
softly and the newspaper
speaking silent words

Your smile
and loving eyes
make no sound
when cast my way
and the kiss I give you
is a quiet blessing

Soft sounds abounding
cherish them...
abide in love.

    Beautifully written!

    The soft sounds of morning are so profoundly beautiful in this poem. A powerful write filled with soft touches that make me very happy to contemplate.
