Your Velvet Mind

your mind
is velvet
soft to the touch
yet holding weight
in its folds

each thought
is a stroke of something rich
and sensuous
draped in layers
you cannot see all at once

there is texture to you
the way your ideas
brush up against the world
smooth and rich
yet draped in mystery

velvet mind

both lush and deep
holding warmth and shadows
in equal measure

a curtained stage

you are both the softness
and the strength
the quiet before the show
and the grand reveal
