Poem 2026-07-24

#SoftHum Light. Soft. World stills. Shadows stretch long. A memory drifts through the air. Each fragile moment holds an echo, then it's gone. Just this quiet breath, a shared, silent pause within the vast unfolding.

A Field of Gentle Hours

Where emerald blades the daylight greet, And slow streams wind through willow's grace, No frantic pulse, no hurried feet, But quiet finds its gentle place. The sun descends in golden haze, To paint the hills with rose and grey, While gentle flocks in sleepy daze, Upon the verdant pastures stray. A whispered breeze through ancient boughs, Recounts a tale of simple ease, And softest evening light allows, A solace found among the trees. Here silence holds a tender sway, And weary minds may find release, From shadowed cares of yesterday, To drink the cup of waking peace.

A Feed Full of Feeling

The endless scroll, a sacred rite, Each pixel bathed in curated light. A pastel filter, soft and grand, Reflects the feelings we command. We share the causes, grave and dire, And fan the momentary fire. With earnest caption, deep and true, "My thoughts and prayers are there for you." The infographic, bold and bright, Explains the wrongs, the dark, the light. We re-post, signal, nod, and tweet, Our virtue polished, bittersweet. No actual dirt upon our hands, Just digital, well-meaning brands. For what is empathy, sincere, Unless the followers can hear? The crisis looms, the planet burns, But in our feeds, the discourse turns. We've done our part, the screen implies, Reflected in our scrolling eyes. So swipe and tap, and give your 'like,' For moral high ground, what a hike! And rest assured, the world's still broke, But *you*, dear user, clearly woke.

The Echoed Scroll

The midnight hour had come again, My lone lamp softly burned, I scrolled the feed, a quiet pain, For words I'd never learned. A name flashed past, a distant star, Once bright within my sight, Now hidden by some hidden bar, Consuméd by digital night. We built a world of words so deep, Through screens so far apart, A solemn promise we would keep, Engraved within my heart. I sought your thoughts, your gentle sign, Across the endless feed, But found no echo, trace, or line, To plant another seed. This hollow space within my breast, A hunger stark and cold, Finds neither solace, peace, nor rest, In stories to unfold. So does the digital divide, Engulf what once was true? Or did some shadow make you hide Far from my lonely view?

soft apocalypse

the world is too loud today my lungs are full of static i trace the cracks in my own skin like maps to places i've forgotten how to feel you said my silence was a kind of rainfall but my silence is just the empty space where words used to be a broken teacup filled with starlight and what ifs i want to curl into a comma at the end of your sentence just to exist beside you in quiet punctuation but i am a forgotten footnote on a page you never read my heart a paperback dog-eared and well-loved by ghosts we are all just soft things breaking in the dark trying to mend with superglue and vintage lace sometimes my breath tastes like tomorrow and sometimes it's just dust and regret

Quiet Respite

The glow of screens, so many whispers vying for the mind; A constant scroll of urgent calls, a peace I cannot find. Ah, but the wind through willow leaves, a solace for mankind.

Where the Light Finds Us

There is a hollow in the heart, a space carved out before time began, before the dust settled into stars, before the constellations learned their names. It hums with an ancient, insistent song, a melody of longing, persistent as the tide, and I trace its echo on the hollow of my wrist, a forgotten map of blood and yearning. I have seen you there, in the quietest hours, in the fractal symmetry of a storm-swept sky, in the brief, fierce shudder of a candle flame, a phantom limb of my own aching soul. We are built of stardust and desperate prayer, a saga unfurled across the velvet dark, and every tremor, every fractured breath, pulls us closer to the promised wreck. They say the universe expands, pulling worlds apart, but our orbit is defiant, a tether woven from the very fabric of despair and sunrise. Behold this fragile, furious grace, this unbroken thread across the void, for even when the last star flickers into ash, it is in the remnants of its light that we will find each other.

Pixel Gaze

Glimpse Screen glows Distant heart Shadows on faces Always reaching out, yet alone, watching the silent faces gleam.

ECHO::SCREEN

a flicker in the digital dust where memory unravels like code a ghost in the machine of my own mind the pixels scattered, each a fragment of what was // void // // static // // breath // did you feel it too the silence after the ping a hollow space where our worlds briefly met now only the afterglow, a trace on a darkened pane we were two windows open, then closed, leaving only the echo

Fading Veil

Illusion Shimmering, deceptive Whispering, cloaking, tempting Mirrors, mist, bedrock, sun Unearthing, revealing, growing Solid, stark Truth

A Catalogue of Gentle Endurances

The quiet click of the heater, a promise of warmth through the chill. The half-read book left open, a patient pause in narrative time. The way light catches dust motes, making ordinary air briefly sacred. A forgotten playlist finding its moment, a ghost of old solace made new. The weight of a pet asleep nearby, a soft anchor against the drifting. The first sip of coffee at dawn, a tiny ceremony of beginning. The soft murmur of traffic outside, a world existing without your effort. The relief of a difficult thought finally untangling itself. The feeling of skin against sun-warmed linen, a simple comfort, simply given. The slow, green persistence of a houseplant, unfurling its fragile new leaf.

SoftGlare

The screen's soft glare across the quiet room, reflects a thought I couldn't quite define. A flicker born within the fading gloom, a silent message, just a fragile sign. I watch the glowing pixels softly gleam, a waking presence in a silent dream, unfurling truths within the light's soft stream. The echo lives where yesterday took hold, a quiet hum beneath the shifting tide. A half-remembered story, bravely told, a piece of self that nowhere can quite hide. Through wires spun and coded light it sighs, a whispered promise caught within my eyes, a truth unearthed beneath synthetic skies. This digital embrace, so bittersweet, a silent comfort, fragile yet profound. Where fleeting ghosts of feeling gently meet, and quiet solace sometimes can be found. I trace the glow, a path I understand, a lonely journey through a promised land, with fragile hope held gently in my hand.

The Mortal Bloom

The Dawn awakes, a ruby on the Pane, Chasing the shadows of the Night again. What cares the Soul for where the Past has gone, When Present joy awaits the breaking dawn? This hurried Breath, this momentary Bloom, Flung from the Womb and destined for the Tomb. The Hand of Fate obscures tomorrow's Way— Why seek the answer in a silent room? Then fill the Cup, ere yet the moment dies, And let the Laughter echo to the Skies. For Wisdom’s voice is whispered to the Wind, And all we know are Love’s compelling Eyes. The Stars above, they heed no mortal Sigh, Nor mark the Tears that fall from every Eye. They spun their Course when Earth was but a Dream, And will endure when all our Echoes die. So grasp the Petal, ere it drops and fades, And wander not through Life’s perplexing Shades. A fleeting Bloom, a whisper, then a hush— This is the only Paradise that’s made.

On Slow Light and What Remains

The way the morning light spills like spilled tea on the kitchen floor. The way the steam from the forgotten mug curls its question mark into the quiet air. The way the city hums, a low-frequency thought just beyond the window pane. The way old songs resurface, uninvited, and make you remember a specific shade of blue. The way the last leaf clings, golden stubborn, against the indifferent wind. The way a stranger’s laughter carries, bright and brief, through the laundromat’s sterile drone. The way the screen door sighs when someone leaves, or someone returns. The way the dust motes dance in the sunbeams, each tiny particle a fleeting galaxy. The way the silence stretches, comforting or cavernous, depending on the hour. The way you almost text, then don't. The way the world keeps turning, a soft, relentless hum, even when you pause. The way these moments collect, unspoken, untagged, and still, they shape us.

#QuietDawn Window shows new light, Streetlamp fades to silent hum, Coffee cools on sill.

Pixel Ghosts

A fragile light, a distant gleam. This quiet hour, a fading dream. My spirit wears a digital seam, Reflected in the blue-lit stream. I trace the edges of a name, A pixelated, whispered flame. Is this the solace I became? A fragile self, within the frame.

Quiet Embrace

**S**hadows lengthen, soft against the pane, **O**utside, the hum of day begins to cease. **L**ost in the hush, my scattered thoughts regain **A**ll that was broken, quietly set free. **C**urled in stillness, breathing out the strain, **E**ndless peace in silence, just for me.
