Hold me closer
Clock stops moving
I feel safer in here
Hidden inside of
A euphoratic moment
We find ourselves
Clenching to the ground
Fruits of labor
Salts of wound
Winter isn't cold anymore
Celestial bodies
Spewing stardust
Gossiping about us
Glitter falls around us
Moonlight tells a story
We're safe inside.

Fruited labor,
season savoring salted drifting,
leaves blow here
through dwindling measure,
this is rush in invisible motion,
beyond the love we comprehend,
safe and close, forever breathing.
lovely...thanks so much

The last six lines are beautiful, the images they create are wonderful and they seem full of love. especially liked the final line, the idea of being safe inside is really touching. Great piece x
