A brief moment
A candle lit
A wine poured
A cake slowly sliced
The crackle of a fire
The purr of a cat
The beat of your heart
A word on a page
A poem on my tongue
And a silence outside
So deep and dark
So deliciously dark
That envelops our house
And holds us
Safe and daringly alone
Like a boat
Moored in a remote harbour
Where we can be together
Really together
For a brief moment.
