The Nest

In the quiet solace of the room

We awake to understanding

From the silent morning hours we knew

That this day would bring expanding

The warming fire’s amber hue

Its colors dance impromptu

Leaking light in my cocoon

In your laughter all my fear withdrew

All defenses now disbanding

Healing every hidden childhood wound

Tears released at last o’er ran me

Without a prayer

Without a clue

Turned inside out

Turns out that you could feel at ease

I sensed you knew

Inside these walls we find

All walls fall down

Inside one heart

There beats love’s silhouette sound

This is the nest that I imbue

You’ll find the gift without a wrapping

Our love cannot contain the rue

Though life and death are overlapping

A final word, I’ll bid adieu

In time or out I’ll find you

Until we’re joined and rest ensues

Know that I love you
