I watched you sleep quietly.
If there is a face for my prayer, your sleeping face was it.
You are the prayer, the answer too.
A gift, a message, a blessing.
I listened to your faint breathing.
Why aren't you breathing deeply, why aren't you breathing loudly, why so quiet?
Take up space! Fill up your lungs with life. Soar...
Your eyes twitched a hundred times, you smiled too.
My heart smiled with you.
I thought I couldn't love you more in your usual full chatter mode, and then came your sleep and still mode. I melted a little.
A promise to myself to get a little bit less poetic, as soon as the novelty of learning about your existence has faded away.
In the meantime, I prepared my achy heart to fathom the richness of your being.
Show me more, I can take you, all of you.
Show my heart a matching abundance.
I thought I was alone...
and then came you.
May you have the most deepest, most peaceful of sleeps. May the most soothing and heart filling dreams visit your mind. May your soul know limitless joy, in your sleep, or waking.
