The First Step

Quietly opening the door to his room

the night air rushes past her,

finally free of it's boundaries.

Walking slowly to his bedside

gazing down at him,

see's him sleeping, unaware or her visit.

Standing close to him now 

his breath warms her bare skin,

as she pulls back the covers.

Silently sliding into his dreams

not wanting to disturb him,

or the bond he is weaving.
