while you were sleeping
Thursday, December 28th, 2006motionless, i lay on my bed listening to heart-beat pounding
its rhythmic sounds consume my thoughts.
the sound i hear is calming, almost soothing.
this pounding sound of the heart is perfectly accompanied
by a relaxed methodical breathing,
together these sounds are hypnotic, as powerful as a
compass finding its magnetic north.
my mind swirls arradically, searching for what has induce
this almost euphoric state,
it is not my own heartbeat or breath i hear as i imagined,
but the tender sounds of your contented sleep,
back there at the northern junction.
while you were sleeping…..
