In Sleep

Quiet in sleep you lie beside me, my sweet love Tranquil and relaxed, beauty so astounding And I watch you marvelling that you love me. The years have transgressed against us With me loving you more with each new day. Being in your presence is my delight and joy Soulmates journeying together, loving each other Supporting, encouraging, when one stumbles and falls Never questioning, rebuking when times are hard Always seeing light glimmering in the darkness. You sigh wistfully in your sleep and call my name Oh, my time with you is precious and honeysuckle And your beauty and intellect enraptures my heart.
