Tranquility

Tonight I just want peaceful slumber.

No other thoughts to disturb,

no twisting, turning, kicking...

My angel heeds my cry, I pray,

and I begin to remember.

The angel who laid my head on his chest

in sweet protection,

and cradled me in his arms.

The angel who let me cry onto his shoulder,

and even wept, himself.

The angel, who gave me his still-beating heart,

and vowed we would never part.

His heart beats within me,

and our feelings mirror.

He lays my head down,

and I can hear the beat of his heart...
echo mine.
