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.

Captivating words, Natalie
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.
How fantastically healing
Oh this is so relaxing and comforting. Exquisite! Well done, Natalie, another fine entry! :)
