you lie there under blankets
breathing in, out
a whole planetary system supreme
with aliens and natives restless,
unaware of the company
of a whole host of unsung,
unfound song within,
a festival of feelings and natures
undiscovered,
unexplored…
all
there
‘neath a canopy of rest
breathing in, out the night,
the sounds of day’s murmurs fading
in your ears, softness falling against skin
and ‘though we know each other…
so much
we’ve not known
hums here in the lines that separate,
lines we can ride and cross
and set aside
for the knowing we choose
not
so far.
