In the moment
I do see
You watching over me
Your strength provides,
a protective covering
I sense your love
Devotion reciprocated
A walk by the ocean,
a place to permeate
Love witnessed
Love believed
My need
Your mind
My love
Your heart
All intercedes
Humbly,
come back to me

The true peace, I think?

You have a point. How important is sleep?

I love sleeping!

Then I suppose you’ll need to find a way to sooth the toads without torching them.
Sleeping is overrated by some…old guys tend to need their sleep, I guess. *winks*

I couldn’t agree more. Once the other half is found one should never allow distance. Thank you for the kind words. I look forward to reading more of your work and forming a friendship. Have a great day!
