It's That Time
how sweet the sound
that gently resonates
clear to my heart
we’ll hang up
it’s late
and go to bed
you to yours
and I to mine
still how sweet the sound
of ‘let’s go to bed’
there’s a togetherness to it
that’s comforting
so me and that togetherness
head off to bed
feeling infinitely less alone
and somehow it’s not that scary
this togetherness that feels
so right on one hand yet
quasi insane on the other
till the real question surfaces
how can a widow
love the widower?
two shattered hearts
rescuing each other
in the night
how does…
a widow love a widower?
united in their grief
yet their stories all so different
till a simple ‘let’s go to bed’
brings comfort to each other
and we are through the darkness
not alone
