it's   like   the   sun   shines   through   the  earth             

on   us,    in   this   darkest   minute   of   night  before            

the    world      spins    back    around   to   face  the  day;        

      through   to    where    we    dream    together,   in   lofty                   

clouds   above   our   heads.   it's   in   this   moment          

                                   ­          I  wake

      and realize,

                          ­        with your                                                ­

sleepy arms

                                   around me                                                            

 ­      the   love   I'm   in.

                       enough    in    love   to   feel                  

           the  sun  in  only  its  sleepy  reflection,  cast                  

over  the­  moon;  to  feel  the  Moon  pulling   the  tide                

that   is   your    light    breath   —    in  to   fill  your  chest,                

out    over    the   arch   of    my   ear.    All   it  takes  to  fall                

                 in   love   all   over   is   your   hand  across   my                          

                                        heart & lungs;                    

                                                              t­o breathe                    

                                  ­                   you  into                    

                                              both.
