Touch

In the half-light before we wake where dreams still know your name I find you in my breathing warm as an unspoken flame An ancient sign beneath my skin quiet, close, and true every silence leaning toward you Time loosens when you’re near the world grows thin and kind all the weight I carried falls behind Breathe with me, slow and deep let the moment stay in this circle of our bodies nothing slips away In the smallest touch we feel it something wide and whole we are woven into wonder breath to breath, soul to soul Pearl-light in the morning gray soft against your face every doubt dissolving in the warmth of this place I lean into your stillness you lean into mine no words left to carry time Trust rests easy here like a hand I know every fear unlearning how to go Breathe with me, slow and deep let the moment stay in this circle of our bodies nothing slips away In the smallest touch we feel it something wide and whole we are woven into wonder breath to breath, soul to soul Touch becomes a prayer soft as falling rain surrender feels like memory before the name In a single shiver night and dawn align everything eternal in this time Breathe with me, stay right here no need to know love is just the way we let each other go into warmth, into wonder into what we are slowly circling together where the edges fall apart Just the breath just the light just us holding the night.
