Watching

You lay sleeping
The scudding clouds 
Turn the moonlight on and off
A pale limb would brighten and glow
The soft down giving a silver translucency. 
While I watched my mind calmed 

Your breath slow and regular
Setting a beat for my heart

I see the curves of your body
Melding and flowing into one
You turn and your face breaks free
Peaceful and calm
Reassured that you sleep 
I watch and wonder

We laugh and smile together 

Yet still you Sleep
I reflect on my joy
Reflecting your trust 
I lightly stroke your shoulder
Amazed at the smooth warmth

I can be all that I am
With your love.
