Breath

.

A brief respite on a quest.

. 

Breath        -       11 Jan 22 

I laid you 

Gently on your bed

You were tired 

You needed to rest

Sleep called 

I watched 

To guard against 

Nightmares 

Or demons of the night 

Till dawn 

As the sun 

Touched your face

I could rest 

Because you could watch 

Over me 

When the day 

Relinquished the cords 

Allowed the breath 

To fill the world again 

Butterfly dream

. 

Am I being dreamed?
