Perfect Nuance

Mantras caress the spirit,
bringing softness and embrace
to the eyes and ears of the soul;

when memories rise and fall
as yearnings,
they offer tranquillity
and refinement -

weakening the bone
strengthening the heart

and, as gifts of humbleness and love,
they intersect in perfect Nuance.

I do love the word "nuance". This is so beautiful. Just a soothing flow much like the gentle rise and fall you mention here. Thanks for entering.

What gentleness in spirit ...
and what subtility in phrasings ...

Would that all souls understand!
