=================
Blue shadows fall, quickening til morning
a frail lightened wick is all we need
the room is cool, dark, and comforting
the fan rumbles its sweet moan
i care for nothing
that only
i am close to you
that your hair against my cheek
is ripe with serenity
shadows play all they want
the cotton sheets, so thin before
now lush with mirth and sweetness
your warmth
a cradle to my soul, my heart sings
and there are no more bad dreams
i close my eyes to sleep
a smile on my lips
