Whilst (whilewhilewhilewhilewhile)

Five A. M.

Coffee smoothie with banana

The sound of your car leaving before morn

The cat tries to bite my hand

The dog pouts

Our home, still, quiet

Your essence in the air

I pray

I trust

Angels surround you. Today. Always

Return you to my arms

Not daring to think what if not

I make plans

To pick you up later

For dinner tonight

For tomorrow afternoon

And many more days to come

I love you beyond time,

Beyond distance,

Beyond God –is it bad to say that? Will I –could I –be punished for that? Beyond eternity then!

I love you beyond eternity.

I love you NOW.

Dawn breaks out; last night’s waning moon fades away

The cat lies on the table where I write

The dog looks at me with inquisitive eyes

The last sip of coffee; it is time for a walk

Wagging tail, dancing paws

The morning ferry departs

The cat rests on my notebook

Your heart beats in my heart.
