Soft Notes in the Shade

Breathe once, I'm here the midday's turning low

Curtains move so lightly, patterns on the wall

Rhodes is drawing letters, tiny, warm, and small

Teacup steam is rising, pages find their place

Every quiet second settles into grace

Soft notes in the shade, hold the day in view

Write a little promise only we both knew

Soft notes in the shade, keep the windows wide

Let the gentle colors linger here inside

Footsteps down the hallway, fading into air

Dust like silver daylight, floating everywhere

Pencils mark the margin, lines that feel like home

I can hear the stillness hum beneath the tone

Soft notes in the shade, hold the day in view

Write a little promise only we both knew

Soft notes in the shade, keep the windows wide

Let the gentle colors linger here inside

If the sky turns pale and all the clocks go slow

I will fold the sunlight where the flowers grow

If the room gets quiet—let the music stay

Tracing out a pathway we can keep today

Soft notes in the shade, hold the day in view

Write a little promise only we both knew

Soft notes in the shade, keep the windows wide

Let the gentle colors linger here inside

Let the gentle colors linger here inside
