To you

You are tired

 I’m preparing a bed for you.

Eyes yearn for sleep,

breathing, heartbeat.

It will rain, the body hurts, feels

 change, the burden of time.

 Hands know sore spots

 by life, contorted for years.

Neck, nape, back, feet.

Old albums, faded pictures,

 children became people.

 Home, roof, security, intimacy,

silence speaks in an unspoken language,

 can you hear her..seductive, captivating,

soothing, mild. The wall clock is ticking

time, seconds, minutes, hours.

Large drops of rain fall on the windows.

Head on shoulder, resting comfortably. sleep,

tonight I am a guardian, a protector, a safe haven.
