sleep soft, love
day is done
sink in to night’s embrace
let go, love
into dreams
as breathing slows it’s pace
and in the morn
I’ll kiss your face
and laugh
with you
my saving grace
sleep
empty
fingertips poised
no words
empty
~
sleep
~
try again
tomorrow
gone
in the absence
of bees
there is air in my lungs
and calm in my soul
and the pain of the sting
is fast fading
in the absence
of bees
comes the easing of fear
and my mind can let go
into sleep
horizon
today
morning starts softly
a haze on the hills
under cotton-wool clouds
horizon indistinct
mere smudge ‘tween
sea and sky
and my mind is there
on that horizon
wishing
peace
eyes drooping
yet awake
I rest a moment
in the dark
listening
as your breathing
slides slowly
into sleep
your peace
is my peace
and now
I can let go
