Melanie Resting
Your chest is moving up and down
With every tender breath
And body from the toe to crown
As you next to me rest
Your head is resting, and blonde hair
Swings down to every side
Are your dreams happy? Or nightmares
Behind those lovely eyes?
Your ears are pink; blush on your face
Soft and warm are your palms
How I delight in your embrace
And hope that you be calm -
And as your soul moves up and down
With every tender breath
Let me inside your spirit drown
And in there find - my rest.
