Quiet
Please, rest just a little longer.
What happens outside this temporary paradise
is none of our concern.
Lay your burdens down, just for this moment.
Join your heartbeat with mine.
Fall deeper.
Into me.

Oh wow.
I love how each line works like a funnel.
Great movement from what could be perceived as general to specific!
“Join your heartbeat with mine.” Lovely.
What’s most moving in this poem’ for me is the recognition of impermanence. By asking, “just a little longer,” you acknowledge that this peace is precious because it’s temporary.
You have captured the essence of solace and the need we all feel to step away from the world’s demands and find refuge, even briefly, in another’s arms.
This is a very peaceful, restful poem.
