The rain scented breeze
plays with the curtains
and in the distance
thunder rolls,
then rebounds off the hills.
Wrapped in a shawl,
having wandered
for what seems an age
I am content here and now.
You sleep,
the exhaustion
of mind and body
easing away.
Outside
the rain falls
once more
and I return to our bed.
My hand on your heart,
I feel it beat.
Finally home,
I rest knowing
that you
are in my safe keeping.
