Still
You lie on my chest Under the blanket, warm and cozy A comforting presence Our place of mutual slumber Under the blanket, warm and cozy You sleep, deep and still Our place of mutual slumber I strain to hear you breathe You sleep, deep and still No swish, no flick, no big stretch I strain to hear you breathe Still waters are running too deep No swish, no flick, no big stretch Not even when I say your name Still waters are running too deep Why won’t you answer? I peek at you under the blanket Unseeing eyes stare past me I pull up the blanket with a start Not yet! You lie on my chest Under the blanket, growing cold Cold comfort of an empty shell As you dream your endless dream.

Introduction This is my twenty-fourth piece inspired by Justine G. Cappelli's beautiful and inspirational artwork. I love that Justine always gives the full story behind the painting, which gives me more than just the painting to work from.
