QUIETLY RECONSTRUCTING OUR CONVERSATIONS*
I wonder where you are
at this very moment
likely deep, deep asleep
lucky girl she is,that sleep
in this dark place
in my head
I find I am
jealous of
your sleep
for she has you
as I sit here awake
myself
missing you
'Quietly Reconstructing Our Conversations'
and wanting you near
missing your calming light and intensity
for your incredible depth
companions my own
and I am slave to this
profound connection
we have made
I don't begrudge you
your rest
I could not begrudge you
anything that brings you
a modicum of serenity
for experiencing your joy
lights up my smile
and when you are near
even if only in word exchange
my world is brighter than
the heavens above
and when your attention is
taken away
I become a dim candle of sorts
that can barely keep
even the slightest of wind gusts
at bay
taking a much needed deep breath
I smile a wee sad smile
cause I know its the very same for you
nearly every moment of the day
enjoy your precious sleep my love
for I fear you don't get nearly enough rest
and dream if you can of the times
we won't have to be apart but for
the work day hours and
the soothing blanket of night
deep in each our separate sleep
yet side by physical side nearest
to each our most treasured thee....................
