You

Come to me at eventide
When I’m ‘twixt sweet
Dreams and deep sleep

I relax into your
Presence and find rest
In your gentle caress

I reach to find your
Embrace – watch as you
Smile your crooked smile

You are familiar somehow
I feel a secret knowing
Of your being – of your self

I sigh because I know you
Not your name – but the
Innermost, secret YOU

When I awake you are still near
Your presence an unbidden
But always welcome joy

And then I wander quickly
Through my day so
I can come again to dream of

You
