Quote of the moment
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
-Wendell Berry: The Peace or the Wild Things

3 AM
It is 3 AM
I am all alone
Thinking of your eyes
How the love shown
I feel my touch
On your tiny face
Silken skin reacting
As my fingers trace
I remember the warmth
Spreading with each embrace
Can feel how each touch
All my cares erase
I close my eyes
I only see your face
And reach for your hand
So our fingers interlace
It is 3 AM
I am all alone
Sensing you laying
Next to me, prone
The tracing of you back
Tender nape of neck
Made it so hard
To keep control in check
I so long again
To kiss you cheek
To reach around
To caress each peak
The taste of you lips
As they became moist
The smile I could hear
In your quiet voice
It is 4 AM
I am all alone
When I close my eyes
I see the one I've known
I touch your lily
I feel it jump to life
It calls to me
Above reality's strife
My mouth gently touches
Deep into your neck
While my passions swell
I try to keep in check
I kiss you lips
I share your tongue
With my eyes closed
The night feels young
But it is 4 AM
And I am all alone
Facing a future
Filled with the unknown
It is 4 AM
I am all alone
But I see my queen
Upon a throne
