Joy of life

Silently you lie

dreaming of blue skies

while I

contemplate your beauty

Darling did I mention

how much I love you?

Joy is part of this

the sheer simplicity

of being with each other

ever so quietly within the silence

Thank you

Some times, it seems

I think too much

and that tends to destroy the love

that waits quietly upon me to discover it

In these precious moments

my heart is full to the brim with it

full to the brim with the wonderful feeling

of only this

quiet and gentle present moment

being with you

breathing with you

heart fully open to

the joy of life
