Work weighs so heavy on shoulders so strong
Tell tale in voice pressed too low far too long
The approaching of eve, simple glee up my sleeve
The most tangible turn, weightless stress to relieve

As your footsteps appear, intuition comes clear
Turning back sea foam velvet, cool and clean lying here
Summer heat beads the brow, with both hands smoothing now
Fluffy sighs mile highs as flung feathers allow

Fairy land it would seem, works the best to redeem
And in laughter to hiccup thus the days cares will stream
Hitting mid ship and stern, fore and aft, each in turn
With both hands smooth the cotton and soothe of the burn

As you settle content, at my side this descent
From their flight feathers drift, in this laughter we’re spent
Not the type to enjoy of too soft of too coy
But a clean pillow fight the just right touch employ

Oh my goodness!!!  You already know I love this.
Now I'll take a long winded, deep sighing breath.  (sighing)

This is a real beauty Kathleen~
