Safe

This morning
when the wren sang its tiny heart out to be heard over the rush hour
And the sun pushed hopefully through the naked trees
I heard you

This evening
when the fox froze in the icy pool of streetlight
And the clouds tried to dull the moon’s ecstatic brilliance
I saw you

Last night
when the rain drummed a jazz rhythm
On the glass
And I was warm-wrapped safe
I felt you

You’re always around me,
Whenever I hear you
Each time I see you
The moment I feel you
You’re with me.
