Recharging

There's nothing like

Slipping from the bed

Warm and tightly embraced,

By a blanket of fleece

And stepping softly

On the warm tile floors

To screened in patio

With a loyal dog close behind

And no one is awake

You can see across the ocean

And the lights flicker

Like fairies far away

And the moon is barely waxing

And yellow like the sun

And the stars went away tonight

And you own everything

The water doesn't splash

The boats don't make a wake

The dog lays idly by

As you find peace again

And though the light is on

It seems to dim the room

And lets the pleasant darkness

Leave your eyes to rest

And a lover lumbers over

From the open sliding door

And asks if you're staying up late

He'd be keen to join you

And the railings down below

Ring lowly in the bubbles

And the moon is statue still

And the lights on boat sterns glow

Theres nothing like

Slipping into bed

Warm and embraced

By the most beautiful night time
