The Parentheses
We intimately appreciate the parentheses
Our going to bed and awakening together, naked,
Place around the fleshly hymns of our inner peace,
That in-between space deeper than harmonizing silence,
That serene caesura of soft, even breathing,
In which you and I revitalize our lives,
So that, on entering each new dawn,
We see the possibilities of everlasting happiness
Glistening like stars outdazzling the renascent sun
And sense myriad tomorrows' parentheses
Encapsulating, like ageless inhalations and exhalations,
The destiny of our love's sleep and reawakening.
