My
happy place is beside you laying in your lap as the TV flickers on
We
watch and settle our bones down into the soft bed
The
back of my neck is supported just right on your leg
As
you stroke my hear and silently communicate little thoughts
This
is sweet nothings whispered on the tips of fingers
Kids
asleep
House
silent
A/C
blowing
Night
advancing
And
all the troubles of the day fall off my shoulders
The
tension that kept me alert of all the dangers and duties around
So
that I never relax or let my guard down or let the chores go undone
Fix
the handles on the door and organize my tools and replace the bulbs
When
I should have been taking a short nap this afternoon
Only
the solace of these moments alone with you can release all of that
Make
me lazy and melancholy in all the right ways
So
that sleep can work its restorative charms for another night
Sheet
smoothed
Pillows
fluffed
Blankets
arranged
You
and I
Alone
Peace
and calm
Hugs
and kisses
And
sufficient enough
Was
the day
To
let it go
To
wind and water
Dreams
and mermaids
Settling
and solace
