These Nightly Farewells

You're ravenous for this comforting fare
I savor my ought to provide.
You announce your relief in satisfied swallows
I'm quietly contented inside.

•••••

Your hand arrests mine in its furious grip
I'm released from anxiety's plight.
You're weighted with peace as you slip into stillness
I'm lifted in holy delight.

•••••

Your eyes surrender to slumber's allure
I'm captured by this perfection.
Your restlessness melts into sweet serenity
I'm frozen in endless affection.

•••••

You float into fantasy as reality fades
I'm floored as gratitude swells.
Your countenance shrouded in heavenly bliss
I'm undone by these nightly farewells.
