Sometimes late at night
When you’re asleep
I touch your hair

I have no real
Understanding of why
You are lying there

Softly breathing
In the same air as I
Here in this room
With its nothing
Special furniture in a
Nondescript neighborhood
At the edge of a lost
Forever town

What was it
I did or said when
Or where was I so good
That you then came to me
To share in now and
Be the life I have

Outside the moon
Slowly moves across
The autumn sky

The leaves and years
Are falling away

And yet
Because of you
I’m not afraid

John, my friend ...

this 'write' is about as grand-fine as it gets!

VERY MUCH (long-sustained) applause for this 'penning' !!

Thank you all

The right image coupled with
the right music brings wonders
sometimes.

Thanks again

John
