Come to me quietly
gently, like the night
sudden dusk falling like snow
cool night air
and the windows of light
in the dark
Come to me then when
we are no longer hungry, nor thirsty
when we've done all our chores
and the toys are all played with
lying around the house
the books are left open
on the pages we like
Come then and lie down
with your head here and your eyes closed
soft curls nestle in my neck
I will hold you until
you fall asleep, I will hold you
until we both fall asleep.
