Waking up to find you.
With that playful smile
Peaking out like an otter
Through a sea of blankets and pillows.
For a moment I float there,
Feeling weightless, dreamy downstream.
Our legs entangled like the roots of old oaks,
Settled in comfort and warmth.
Here is a world where we sit,
In a nest with high branches,
Outside of space and time.
The veil will encapsulate this world.
When I close my eyes one more time.
Falling asleep, I stay with you.
