The Peace of Your Night

The lingering sweet of

rain on a tree bark

is the scent when

I’m entwined in the peace of

your night

 

Ancient drums call

your heart into rhythmic

palpitations that

soothe and heal,

invite me into the peace of

your night.

 

The easiness of your breath

draws me closer

as I merge into an

extension of you.

 

Our angles complement

each other

blurring the crescents

where your skin begins and mine ends

into hills of honey

 

We love each other through

the conscious

realm of our existence – the part of us

that doesn’t require effort or

commitment

 

The Divine part of us that

just is

 

A Centripetal force created

by the peace of your night

 

For my husband whose gentle and kind spirit has been essential to my healing and to our love.
