To Pam, for her birthday tomorrow...

And on our anniversary today:

My  Wife Asleep

 

Morning light softened by shade,

Shoulder raised as if to shrug,

Lying on side, breathing deep.

 

Arm bent, half-covering face,

Wedding band nearly touching

Visible eye closed in sleep.

 

In describing her posture, words can detail.

In explaining her beauty, words somehow fail.
