the night sky waxes and wanes
behind passing clouds
you next to me
our daughter not more than ten feet away
sleeping peacefully beneath the moon and stars
the life we've created—the love we share
is beautiful
outside, the wind blows softly
hushing us to sleep
the sweet sound of your steady breathe
the rhythmic pulse of your heart
a gentle reminder of all that is
all that will be, for the love we share
is beautiful
