Opening the door
Finding a joyful surprise
You’re awake already
Standing right there
Smiling at the sight of me
With your entire self
I’m looking at nothing
Looking at nowhere beside you
But from the corner of my eye
Even I can tell how happy you are
Thoughts are stirring
Ideas take form
Not for the first time
Not for the last time
Suggestions inferred
A subtle agreement made
Time passes, projects completed
Plan comes to fruition
We move closer
We move together
My hands to your shoulders
Yours to my back
My few words are simple
My body quieter still, yet present
In my few small gestures
You understand me well enough
Gazing into the distance
This quiet body says:
Come inside
The water’s fine
