softly
ever so gently
no other words
have crept upon me
unknowing as now,
unaware
i have been caught up
in warm embrace
that fills me
and waiting
i lie
comforted
by the assurance
of your memory
lingering within me
i feel
as though i now
have reached
a harbor
one peaceful cove
in starlit sea
guarded by moon
and trees
weathering all storms
i rest
at peace with earth
no troubles
bother me
i long for
a chance
that i might return
in full measure running over,
myself.
