Lucky

Sleeping,
Our children snuggled between us
You seem so far away

Your memory touches me in a way
I long for
As if the whole universe waited for our kiss

Our bodies burned so hotly
So perfectly
There was never a question
of how long it would last
but rather
how many lifetimes we’d already loved

The baby giggles quietly in her sleep
Not waking, her sister reaches
through the night to touch her cheek

Warm weight settles against my belly
Our love created this precious breath
Gifts from the universe

Sleeping,
Our children snuggled between us
We are One.
