Gentle Touch

Laying down this night

feeling restless, so no sleep.

Thoughts racing in the dark,

already looking for the light.

First a gentle touch,

as a finger reaches my shoulder bare.

A hand now resting on my chest,

gives me pause as I start to rest.

Then a leg gently

draped across me,

feeling the warmth,

my love close.

Now her body

wrapped to me,

like pretzels intertwined.

A gentle sleep is now mine.

Who wouldn't rest well with such a thought to bed them?
These moments do not just happen. They are the flowers from the garden of well cared for relationships.
Enjoy your well earned rest!
Be well.

I have this touch nightly and it helps me rest. Until my brain kicks in and she's a sleep and I stare at the walls in the dark and even with no sleep, saying my nightly prayer of thanks for many things, but especially the love that is now in my life and wrapped real tight to me.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
