To Sleep
The night begins with the tossing of a restless dreamer
Searching for the image which brings on soothing sleep
She finds the image in your embrace
Sometimes as a protective hug
A shawl that covers gently, yet shields from chill
But more often now
An embrace
Face-to-face
With your chest as her pillow
And your scent her warm milk
The surrounding world disappears
Leaving only her dreams
And/You
