in this tiny bed

i remember shadows
and the smell of you somewhere near
my eyes closed
and the line of dream
had just been crossed
and the white starry skies awaited me
you told me that you were
stroking my hair
touching me
as i was cradled in your lap
your strong lap
and legs
surrounding me as i took my journey
in that tiny bed
in that dark room
i could hear the words
tumble out of my mouth  
as your tongue bid welcome
to my ears
i said
that i loved you
and i felt this pressure lift
as you and i took wing
and left behind
this earthbound world
and lit the way
for all who needed
be where we are
