scraped knee
tumbling down the stairs
mom kissed the boo boo

swathed in duvet
sips hot cocoa with whipped cream
cat purrs

rooftop serenade
woes melt beneath horizon
I exhale

      thank you, Hamish, I think it is easier to think of “moments” of solace…that good feeling when you finally finished an important paper, book,etc…a mother hearing her adult child on the phone say, I’m fine, Mom…I’m really happy now.
