Sunset Reflections

Sweet hum of lullabies 

The breeze of the first days of summer 

The light of the setting sun 

Radiating cool warmth into our second story window 

The poster of my bed 

The knowing of just where you will lay your head tonight 

a shadow of you 

and our family 

accidentally perfect

our growing newborn 

a day older than his first month of life 

the sweet suckling of his warm, growing body

against my own 

into his honey grey eyes 

a reflection of our bond 

that I hope to cherish forever 

the memory of this sweet summer 

day in June. The very essence of which speaks only of gratitude 

and settled joy: peace.
