I cried, and
he told me to come.
“I love you.
And that Dogwood tree
on Penny Lane.
I love that too,
but I love you more.”
That’s all that I could say.
So he put me in bed and
He kissed me goodnight
Pulled the covers up
Shut off the light
Sometime while I slumbered
He crawled in beside me
Arms around me.
comfort.
The joy of being loved.
Morning came
The scents of coffee
Toast and jam
Came to me
On the wings of gentle music
Kitchen
Mozart
Serenading from the den
A smile
A wink
A hand across the table
Holds on to mine
... And I begin to heal.
