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.
