with the grace of midnight breezes as they
breathe through trees. Her barely audible
words console him when broken fragments
of the past haunt his dreams, wake him
drenched in night sweats. Her fingers,
lightly touching his hair, and her muted tones

on a lake's gentle waves while a cool zephyr
eases stress of a long day at the end of a long life.
These two are intertwined heart and mind.

A fine blend of the dark and the tender!
