Refuge

In the still peace of the night,

I find refuge.

Tucking myself into the blanket of the night sky,

I become lost in dreams.

Each star is a glimmer of hope.

I find myself lost looking at the moon,

In its subtle brightness...

Reflecting the magnitude of the sun’s light,

Changing it’s intensity into a comforting softness,

And my favorite dream floods my senses.

You reflect who I am.

You soften my life.

You create my refuge,

By using the intensity of life.

The authenticity in your eyes reveals everything I am.

The echo of your laugh breathes new life into my soul.

Your scent envelopes my head and sends me into a dizzy swirl.

I feel the light touch of your fingertips across my cheek,

And chills rush through my body.

It's as if you've been hiding in the night sky and fell to earth,

Just to make this dream reality.
