The Most Wonderful
Sound

We make Love...
The cries, the moans, the passion.
We collapse onto each other,
Hold each other in our arms,
And we say our special Good Night...
The one we used when, So far away,
All we wanted, And still do,
is to be together.
And I drift off to sleep,
A sound un-noticed echoing in my mind
Soothing, comforting, assuring.

6 am...
I wake up, as I so often do,
and thoughts enter my head...
We don't have enough money,
Are we going to crash?
what have I gotten you into?
And as I feel overwhelmed,
That sound once again,
creeps into my mind...
soothing, calming, re-assuring,
And all thoughts of disaster...
vanish from my mind, with that reminder.
We have each other,
It is all that we want or need.
And as long as we have this,
We truly have it all

I turn and look at you,
And you stir and whimper,
then the sound continues.
And I know,
that as long as I can hear that sound...
sweeter that any music imagined by man.
Sweeter than the song of the Mockingbird outside,
trying to be 10 birds at once.
That simple sound,
calming, caressing, soothing, re-assuring.
And I know,
everything is right,
everything is good,
everything will work,
as long as I can hear that sound.
as long as that sound can echo in my mind.

The sound of your breathing as you sleep
