They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

—— Stephen Stills

4:32 am
In the stillness of this hour
confounded by candor
I find peace
The gecko chirps in agreement

We have so much to offer
each other
We have so far
to go

She will know

A poignant phrase that says it all
is never enough
In another hour
I will look into her eyes

and she will know

In a week or so
things will go back to how they were
and yet
never be the same

I will look for her
in all I do
to give us that chance
to live as we have always dreamed

5:06 am
I didn’t think the silence
could have been more so
and yet

Stealthy stirrings
of unexpected occupants
give me pause

And shadows from another morning
speak more
than I care to

——

Blessed…
