Moving in
Lying here in this single bed
With New Year thoughts running thoughts filling my head
I feel the joy and I know the pain
Of sharing my world with someone again
Tomorrow night we will be sharing knives and forks
Each others caring and so my idle thoughts alight
On last years many wrongs and rights
Those first moments when I met you, how our love grew
Now I think I understand your need to have a steady hand
Peaceful as you always are
You taught me patience from afar
Time to see reality, ask if this was meant to be
Laid my cards out on the table
Asked you if you felt this able
Moving through the tense divide
Approaching from a different side
Found each other in the middle
Learned to solve each others riddle
Respected each others life approach
Sometimes laughter, some reproach
Nothing gentleness couldn’t solve
With courage and strong resolve
We’ve watered and we’ve tended both
Now the garden bears her growth
The beauty of our secret space
Filled with love and tender grace
Now the New Year blooms in view
I will love and live with you
