In Sleep You Are Mine

2/23/15

I watched you sleep last night.
You didn't know at all
I stayed long after you drifted off
Your silence was my home.

I watched your face last night.
The light within you glowed
And gave your features boyhood grace
Revealing purest soul.
I watched you breathe last night.
Saw your chest rise and fall.
Felt myself be one with you
And it never hurt at all.
I watched your heart last night
Sing words to me you'd never say
I folded hands and whispered prayers
Asked God to keep you safe.

You showed me the deepest part of you
And I am blessed.
