That Thanksgiving (friday, 25 JANUARY 2013)

Slow silence
Falls upon the land
As the sun
Passes from view

Dreamers spoon
Softly wrapped
in lovers arms
in this land of dreams

why can I not remember
how this felt
when last I held you in my arms
as we drifted off to sleep

I still remember Thanks giving
When you called me to visit
Scared for your mother
That was in the hospital

Needing me to shield you
From the dark in your mind
You told me to hold you
Through the night and keep you warm

Having spooned off to sleep
In our clothes
with your breast cupped
in my hand

That morning I woke
When you bolted out of bed
Seconds before
I first met your father

Is it odd that I remember
Him telling me that
He was glad about
Me being in your life
