Peace

Her head rests
On my shoulder
And chest,
My left arm
Cradles her,
My right hand
Rests on
Her hip.
She is asleep,
Trusting I will
Wake her in
The morning.
I am surprised
She is spending
The whole night
With me.
We rise early,
She has much
To do checking
Things from
Her list.
And yet,
She talks of having
Breakfast at a
Favorite place.
Two hours later
We are ready
To depart.
There will be
Many nights
To come,
Though I am
Unaware,
I think of our
Night together,
I will miss
The peace
I felt,
Holding
Her in my
Arms.
