The gentle storm
The Beatles: Blackbird remix
The gentle storm
Subsides
As morning rains do
A tender greeting
Sky to earth
A setting for the two
Reading she sat
Shadow framed French doors
Diffused lace lit
Comfort clad white robe
A beauty, a peace
Made my heart want
To quit
Before
I placed her coffee
On the stand
Looking up
Warm almond eyes
Said thanks
While her smile
Said so much more
Closing book
She rises
Wordless
Her arms slide
To mine
As we begin
A gentle storm
Rises
