Something
caused my eyes to flutter
From their deep and restful sleep.
I instinctively comply as nature
Causes me to rise and heed her call.
I glance to see the time is only 3 a.m.
The floor is cold against my heels
So quickly I complete my task and
Quietly return to cover. Barely wrinkling the sheets.
Hardly a creature stirs the night.
The stillness speaks in deafening tones
Of things nocturnal. I can almost hear
Your heartbeat next to mine.
As I turn to face you, just before
I fade back into slumber,
Your peaceful face a silhouette of
Features I know so well,
I pause to count the blessings
And I count this time among the best.
Baltimore at 3 a.m., and love
That's truly stood the test.
