While You Are Sleeping Poem by Laurie Crilly

I hope you are sleeping and having beautiful dreams.

While you are sleeping I will steal my way into your dreams and softly brush my lips against yours. I will whisper, 'I love you' in your ear. Wrapping you in the warmth of my touch. Running my fingers through your hair and breathing my hot breath against your neck. Stretching myself up against the length of your body and caressing your outline.

And you would wake, certain of my love for you.

While you are sleeping I will steal my way into your heart. I will smile as I come upon the loved ones you keep there and I will love them as well. I will sneak my way into the inner chambers and learn the joy and pain of your past. I will bathe your wounds with my tears and kiss each broken place. I will embrace all that is good in you and learn to understand the things you struggle with. I will continue my journey to the center of your heart and plant my seed within you.

And you will wake certain that I have touched your heart.

While you are sleeping, I am a part of you as you are a part of me. All the world is good and right with our hearts, bodies and minds intertwined.

And when you wake you will feel that peace that refreshes you for the day ahead.
