When you cradle me in your arms at night,
we breathe in the essence of each other,
~ with there being no beginning and no end to our oneness.
I am swept away to our lifetime past by
the primal drumming of your heart against my breast.
The rhythmic cadence soothes my very soul,
lulling me into peaceful slumber.
My sleep is deep and dreams are sweet,
when you cradle me in your arms at night.

There is no sharing quite so right
As cuddling in the long, soft night
And when two hearts do so unite
The gods themselves express delight.  

Well done.  KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

When you cradle me in your arms at night,
we breathe in the essence of each other

These two lines lead the way to a very sweet and loving poem.

oh yes in the peace od night, laying side by side, hearts beating as one, breaths in rythm, your way my way, the great spoon. it helps you forget the heartaches and pain that was felt earlier. helping to start the new day with love in the heart. thanks for` the memory. or should i say reminder

Had to send this cradled baby right back up to the top -- this is the cradle we'd all like to rock in!  Beautifully penned and much enjoyed:

Gentle, warm intimacy shared so very lovingly, dear Linda.
If all could enjoy such sweet tender nights in the awareness of being One, every new day could be a better day.
Love and hugs. Margherita
