Blessed and at peace
in the sweet time of closure,
end of day, work done,
I feel you near me,
droll and kind

We have come along this way together,
you, of late, making your presence known
as light, as gentle impulse,
as patient humor at my dim grasp
of what you know so well

We will be together
now and continually,
and more fully,
the more I comprehend.
