trembling
heaving
nose to neck
and
heart to heart
tear damp shoulder
with
gentle whispers
in my hair
i am
protectively encircled
and
i find solace
in my husband’s
arms.

Hard to believe 39 years in December!
Solace was not something easily found as an adult. Many times I wish I could become small again and crawl up into my mother’s lap. Imagine my wonder when I discovered that my husband’s shoulder and steady stance could absorb the most brutal of pains. It is a wonderful thing.
Sharon Cohen recently posted..Topsy Turvy Thank You
That his “steady stance could absorb the most brutal of pains.” That’s precious.
Refreshing sentiment of admiration for your husband. Great detail to the closeness.
Happy One Shot!

Thanks, Claudia.
Highly relatable, reads like a heartfelt (yet not manipulative, nor too emotional) piece. Excellent verses.

This is so sweet, Sandra. This is a place of solace for me as well (well, not YOUR hubbie’s arms-snort-but MINE!)I am enjoying all these pictures of solace I have been taking in today.

I guess you can’t really share that solace. Oh well, it’s over to Ann’s house for the apple pie.
Sweet poem.
L.L. Barkat recently posted..The Book Im Not Writing- Rachel 2
Um, no. Not sharing today. Is there any pie left?
You are deeply blessed in this source of solace.
I’ll second that.
