Today, I Am Soft

The edges of me have rubbed away ...

All my corners, all my angles,

Acute and obtuse alike.

Clouds have more harshness,

Satin, wickeder barbs.

My eyes throw no daggers.

My tongue holds no sting.

Come to me, my love,

While I am like you.

It's Christmas Eve, and all the world is at peace ...

... when I think of you.
