It’s good to feel you are close to me in the night, love,
invisible in your sleep, intently nocturnal,
while I untangle my worries
as if they were twisted nets.
Withdrawn, your heart sails through dream,
but your body, relinquished so, breathes
seeking me without seeing me perfecting my dream
like a plant that seeds itself in the dark.
Rising, you will be that other, alive in the dawn,
but from the frontiers lost in the night,
from the presence and the absence where we meet ourselves,
something remains, drawing us into the light of life
as if the sign of the shadows had sealed
its secret creatures with flame.

This is so intimate a piece. It speaks of an instinctive drawing close to the object of our love. Reaching out, as a flower to the sun, for the sustenance of being, for unconditional love. Beautiful writing and observation of one's beloved asleep. Peace, Rhonda
