Leo
Sleeping next to me
The sounds of noisy slumber
Warm and steadying
Life surprises me
Love, I did not see coming
Filling me with hope
Pushing out the fear
Fragile evaporations
Welcomed in my heart
Releasing blossoms
From my knotted aging limbs
Looking forward now
A new season calls
Pleasures come without the guilt
New sproutings of faith
My secret to keep
Private lessons for learning
Before it's too late
My arm curls around
Breathing sounds are comforting
I hope I can sleep
