Night Visit

~ Night Visit ~

you were lying on your back

tucked under the covers
slightly turned away

totally at home

in that old blue thread bare
tee you often wore

did you yield to an ethereal 

craving for a moment in

your old familiar bed?

I rolled over in the night

saw you lying there and thought

oops I’m in the center crowding him

moved back a bit to give you space

content as if returned to our old normal

only to wake in the morning and realize

your visit was but a sweet dream

a sweet and welcome vision 

an echoing of warm routine

once commonplace and

~ Real ~
