Tender togetherness

Tender togetherness

Is time spent

Just being with each other

Not too much need for words

The quiet smile

That reaches all the way up to your eyes

And kindles the fire inside my heart

The warmth of your touch on my arm

And a sharing of food

A feeling we are both present

Engaged fully

In this present moment in time

Not restlessly seeking

Elsewhere for comfort

Trust that what we share

Means the world to both of us

And that we value our connection

As well as these simple moments

Of togetherness shared
