and I shall come home
into bed
under the covers
into your waiting arms
haven from the universe
planets
moons
stars
and there I’m safe
loved
caressed
in your waiting arms
safe sanctuary sharing
our bodies
souls
hearts
and there I’ll wait
when you are gone
your journey to be done
and you shall come home
into bed
under the covers
into my waiting arms.
