Comfort

 

Sometimes all you need to gift yourself

Is a simple breath

One that fills you

And then that long slow outflow

Telling your whole self

It will be alright.

And sometimes, all you need to gift yourself

Is the time spent enjoying the scent of flowers

Or the pounding waves of the Sea

Or some such thing that fills you with warm nostalgia.

It could be a sweet kiss, gentle embrace, or any sort of kind touch that could be that perfect solution.

And what might your soul need? Being filled through your eyes?

Smiles full of light could be the gift, or a horse racing madly through Buttercups

Free as a bird

Sometimes all you need to gift yourself is a warm cup of comfort 

Or a cool refreshing sweet

But in all of this ~ these gifts

Your being filled, held, soothed

Comforted

Is all you need.
