THAT IS ENOUGH

'When Love Becomes A Place To Rest'
​Written by Lori Butierries
Lori Butierries

​I curl into you,
seeking comfort,
seeking protection,
seeking connection.

All the things that you provide when you are awake.

Your presence is the only thing that calms my mind when my thoughts keep me up at night.

I curl into you and concentrate on your breathing,
listening to your gentle snores,
the noise in my head disappears.

I close my eyes
and rest easy.

With your leg thrown over mine.

I am safe.
I am loved.
I am okay.
For now.

That is enough. ∎
