The morning seeps in through the blinds
I can feel your breath on my neck
Each time you inhale.
You sleep so soundly,
Your arms around me...
I can feel your heartbeat against my back.
I snuggle into your arms
Something holy about that place.
A little deeper
Something sacred in your embrace.
Each kiss,
Each hug,
A little “Amen.”
Slowly
I wriggle free.
Softly
I move your arms.
Quietly
I turn to face you.
You sleep so soundly.
Smiling
I watch you as morning
wakes you.
I wrap my arms around you.
Amen.
