On the drive home from dropping off Randal, I drove an hour in complete silence in effort to keep Aiden asleep, and a poem just kind of came out. I don't usually share poems I write, but who cares anyway, right? I mean, what's the point? So... here is one about about my rides home, which I'm going to cheat and also use as my quote for the day. :)

 

like a dream he comes to me

the sailor of my heart

and when first breaks the morning light

I know that we must part

 

he comes to me like sunshine

and he comes to me like rain

he comes to me like silver lining

on a cloudy day

 

when he comes, my world is light

and at last I am at home

my heart has found its resting place

no more condemned to roam

 

and when he goes, it leaves me

and an empty space behind

for my sailor I would wait

until the end of time

 

I take him to the red bridge

where our worlds collide

with few words and many tears

we whisper quick goodbyes

 

when he's gone, my heart breaks

I turn the key and drive

to leave the moment and the man

that make me feel alive

 

My heartache speaks in silence

in the quiet I find peace

knowing that my sailor

will always come for me
