    When sleep won't come easily
    The cares of the day
    Cluttering my mind
    Like stadium debris
    After the game

    I close my eyes
    And I see you
    Feel you laying next to me
    Smell your fragrance
    Your womanly scent
    Touch the silken softness
    Of your skin
    Taste the fruity sweetness
    Of your kiss

    Yes, my imagination
    Is that vivid!
    As I give myself to it
    You -give yourself
    To me

    And - as we give our love
    To one another
    Taking us over
    Over the edge
    In the denouement
    As sleep takes me away
    I know with certainty
    What it seems
    I've always known
    That it is you

    You are the embodiment
    Of my dreams
    Our love is at the crux
    Of my want

    Only you
    Bring the peaceful
    Sleep
    Of love

The first duty of love is to listen.

Very tender and touching words.

by the grace of God.

And in my dreams I hold you close
Closer than the light of day
Breathing every breath you take
Til the morning comes

This was such a lovely lullaby
