Solace

by Anna Maria

I listen to the thud of your heart.

Thud all over
In leaps and bounds
to be quieted by you
Cuddled.

I listen to the thud of your heart .

Wake  all over again
 to a new morn
walk  all  over dew drenched grass
fresh like  the leaves rolling over
away  like a tear  of joy
when touched .

The thud of your heart
 like a gentle breeze
 calming.

The thud of your heart
like distant drums   calling.

Dreaming all over again
till I am back listening .

Wakened by the thud   of your heart.

Without  the thud of your heart
I would rather   stay asleep
without waking.
