"So Softly" is a piece of music written for saxophone quartet by Irish composer, Ian Wilson. :)) K xx


MUSING ON “SO SOFTLY”


A foghorn dawn infuses my soul –
steady breath of unknown music
rounding the cape, shaping
my low cliffs of consciousness.

Tongues of washing tides
shush the wet-faced sands,

lick away the flotsam notes
and float them bobbing on the
unplumbed depths, in sway beneath
an unblinking sun.

Netted in balanced counterpoint
of oceans’ cross-hatched currents,
staves are stilled to sleep.

Cirrus gestures the light to settle,
swallow its reveille heat.
