In quiet time, when day is done,
] rest my head for sleep to come,
As peace steals o'er my restless mind,
My memories your face will find,
Your gentle smile so sweet to see,
Eases my troubled thoughts for me.
In quiet times, in still of night,
When darkness shields the world from sight,
I lay awake and think of you,
I see your eyes, so warm, so true,
I feel at peace and without fear,
As in my mind I hold you near.
In quiet times, in dead of night,
My dreams take wing in silent flight,
To join with yours, the two as one,
Spirit and body, one become,
Lips joined, breath soft, hearts beating slow,
Two bodies merged in loves deep glow.
In quiet times, in dawning light,
My eyes tight closed, the dream held tight,
I feel our hearts entwined, at rest,
My cheek press'd to your soft white breast,
I keep my cherished dreams sublime,
And wait again for quiet times.
I quiet times, in days dull toil,
When reality ones dreams can soil,
I close my eyes and see your smile,
To comfort me for some short while,
And in my heart, through flight of time,
In quiet times, your dreams are mine.
Being Parted Away From Home
A lovely poem - my husband was also a soldier, but I didn't receive any beautiful poems like that when he was away!
