I squeeze her hand and breathe.
Clean smell of sage
reminds my soul of peace.
I turn the page.
But glance up at the peaks
as airplanes rush
to paint a setting sun
with contrail brush.
Warm breezes dance with trees
and ruffle hair.
Two rabbits creep through leaves
and linger there.
The tabby watches them
but does not stalk.
We are at rest tonight,
Too still to talk.
Her hand is soft. I breathe
clean smell of sage.
The night will bring more peace.
I turn the page.
