In my sleep

Your breathing awakens my dreams
A slow and steady assuredness
Rhythmic in its sound

Beating back the day into the night
Breathe upon breath soothing me to sleep
Soft melodies of sweet peace

I drift into a fantasy land of hopes and promises
Colors and sounds unlike any on earth
All unlocked only when I sleep next to you

My dearest dream maker in the night
How I love your presence
Each second of rest brings me a heavenly bliss

The only fear I have tonight
Will be to wake up
Without you by my side
