At Peace

I imagine you in the morning 

before the sun rises.
In the stillness and the dark.

My heart feels your presence.

And I am at peace.


I imagine you when sunlight

spills like a waterfall
and settles in my eyes
feeding my heart and my soul.
And I am at peace.


I imagine you at noon
when the heat warms my skin
my eyes close with pleasure as

thoughts of you embrace me,
and I am at peace.


I imagine you at dusk
as light begins to fade.

I hear your voice, sweet and soft.
My heart sways to its gentle song,

and I am at peace.


I imagine you in the darkness,

your smile and your laugh.
And I know that your arrival
is my life’s greatest gift.

And I am at peace.
