Extinguish the light of day, my love

Come to bed and sleep

Lean against the pillows while

Inner darkness retreats

Perfectly a slow arc of sparkling

Sunlight returns to my heart

Each time.

    Love this! as Hannah put it, "how fantastically healing" indeed. You could be channeling my husband right now. I'm still typing away and he's snoring one room over. Think I'll follow your sound advice and slip into his arms. Gn't.
