The Pleasant Quiet
Today, I feel awake
To the beautiful quiet.
She gives what I take
And she makes what I give.
She fiddles with every
Sense inside my heart like a pet -
A pampered pet.
She strikes me still with her beauty -
With mouth-open wonder
She is my hope and
I look for her in
Figure-less folds - these
Velvet-crushed up memories and
In all of this,
I search for something
I can hold on to.
She is placed there
Waiting to kiss me
Goodbye, sweet sullen Goodbye
I'm left with empty "why's" -
Questions keep cursing me.
The pleasant quiet
When I rest my head by
Our pillows' gentle lull.
Maggie is quiet, shuffling about
And I watch and turn and
Take a restful breath.
Those eyelid-heavy laughs,
By our quiet bed.
I yearn for the night
When my stars can align
To form a simple impression
In my head: there's a pleasant quiet
Waiting by my side
And sleep is
Maggie's playground tonight.
