I see you sleeping
and want more than anything
To colour your dreams happy
To remove the harsh looks and words from our
morning
To wet your cheek one more time with my kisses
To touch your scalp naked against my palm
To remember how precious you are
Awake
When you swallow every gesture of mine with
blind faith
And grow up
In spite of me
Elevate
Alleviate
Elude the dark small talk
enter the light
entrance the one who waits
listening to the words still wet on your tongue
elongate your vision
ease your soul onto the sofa
drink tea and hold hands
envision more for yourself
than dirty dishes in the sink
and what to make for dinner
embrace the possibility that
they expect more from you
than clean clothes
and a full lunch box
you are being watched
for what you bring into the room
their lives
the smiles and tears
staying close to hear their fears
standing by when they want to be alone
keeping the lines open
Love leads
grace dances
life heals
