Breathing Calm

Breathing Calm

Sleep sweetheart, close your eyes
No need to stir your tired bones
For now we’ll rest, curled in sequence
Back to front and side by side

I’ve put coffee in the pot
The smell flickers dreams in your head
Can I creep back in beside you
and forget the world like I’ve always tried to?

All I need, solid, real by my side
All I am, at peace, breathing calm
Breathing calm into my day

In a little while we’ll stretch our legs
Shake off the night, blink the moon from our eyes
Let the sun in through slits of blinds
And smile and laugh as we rise

All I need, solid, real by my side
All I am, at peace, breathing calm
Breathing calm into my day
All I need, solid, real by my side
All I am, at peace, breathing calm
Breathing calm into my day

Sleep sweetheart, close your eyes
