Until We Are Soft Again by Shauna Richmond

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.

About the Podcast

One Poem Only
I'm Maggie Devers, and each day I'll read you a poem-nothing more, nothing less. No analysis, no noise-just a little space to listen.
A daily reading. A quiet moment. One poem, center stage: just for now, just for you. A one-night-only show, in verse.

Come back tomorrow. The curtain rises again.
