They say the scent of lavender
soothes a troubled soul to sleep
the aroma permeates
and fills with calming peace.
I say that laughter is like lavender
a gentle trill over coffee
or unguarded thoughts at lunch.
Some people are lavender
listening with quiet interest
a balm of joining
two minds in a moment
into one
however brief or fleeting
the sweet settles into our fabric
for a time, or times again.
To change,
forever the path we’re on.
They say the sent of lavender…
