While You Slept

As you rested 
Your weary eyes
I laid beside you
Staring at your face
Wondering if you
Dream of me
If you thought of me.

As the moonlight 
Shone through your curtains 
To brighten the room
It cast a shadow 
On your face 
I shed a tear
Then kissed your face.

* “I Can Feel The Fragrant Brushing of Your Soft Beautiful Lips * My Dear Sweet Beautiful Shannon * This Would Be When I Should Take Flight Amid Dreams * Your Beauty Within A White Flowing Gown * Pure As A Precious Sweet Dove * Barefoot In Gold While The Wind Waltzes Joyfully & I, Simply Gaze * Shed A Tearsdrop to Turn A Smile * Take Your Lovely Hand & Dash Through The Stars * Unto The Shores of Evermore Into * From Here to Eternity * Then I Awake But to Find This Heart * Still Afloat Amid Dreams * Lingering About My Love * I Kisss Your Cheek * The Nap of Your Neck * You Smile * Gently Turn to Embrace Yourself * Warmth &, All Is Well * My Beautiful Luv, Always & Forever * `Your Sarah.`” *
