Tender Light Softens



Tender Light Softens
 
Frozen layers underfoot
gleam in softened beams
that reach from 
fading sun to 
woodsy trails.
Skiers slow to a stop,
breathe,
 take it all in.
Tranquil tree shadows
stretch in the gentle glow
as dark and light mingle.

In times of sorrow and unease
remember to notice,
honor, welcome
glimmers of brightness
wherever, whenever
they appear.
The act of slowing
allows the opportunity
to treasure the truth
 as tender light 
spreads to the places that need
the warmth of its benevolence
the most.
Inner tensions again unwind
as muscles relax,
cells open,
blood flows.
Though sorrow and unease
are discernible,
tender light softens,
illuminates hope and healing 
as they sink, soothe,
and circulate.
