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

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
