today I see you
in the couch and at the table
it’s a picture there in the mind
even when I’m away;
the picture of ease and comfort
sweetheart
the moment of peace and quiet
and radiant energy
that is you
that brings in one’s heart all delight and stillness
and that washes the dirt and dust of the world
that settles on one;
this is the image that resides, that abides
sweetheart
by sight and memory
embracing all of one’s consciousness
in the benign light of your being
