I shut the window
To shut out the birds cry
I closed my ears
Against the gentle
Harolding of day
I shut the door tight
To keep out the light
To hold onto night
I pulled the covers over my head
And clutched my dream of you
To my chest
Trying to capture its magic
For only a moment longer

I really really like this.
It's not over the top, or
full of sap...it is simply
heartfelt. I thank you
so much for entering.
Love, Lane
