Midnight


The darkness of midnight is wrapped about me
Wind rustling through the palms and palmettos
Distantly beyond the late traffic
Waves wash the near shore
Pushed by the onshore breeze
A pale half moon falls gently to earth
Below the horizon
I can feel your presence with me
Listening
Our hands entwined
In the quiet resolution to another day
As we enter the tender embrace of sleep
