her palm open on the pillow, facing downward towards the floor
her mouth falls slightly open and begins to faintly snore.
her peace creates a tension, and a longing to find rest
her sleep is bringing comfort, lifting weight up off your chest.
her hair is laying simply, unbound and tumbling free
her eyes are closed but somehow, you can feel that she can see.
her body soft, relaxed, and rid of all the pain it's felt -
for a moment she is flying and the calm could make you melt.
and you love to see her sleeping but you hate to feel her go
for the sleep that takes her from you takes her far away, you know.
just watch her darling dimples dim, and let her tension fade,
for sleep takes her hardships
and makes them fall in ravishing cascade.
