Slumber

I fall into my mattress
and slide under the blankets
to my favorite sound
of rain collapsing.

Just hours after leaving,
I miss you some more.
Your silent smiles.
That laugh I adore.

And somewhere in this valley,
my love is resting,
while I’m peacefully awaiting
her return.

Back in my presence,
back under the rain.
Let’s fall into slumber,
back in my bed.
