Sleep

When laid bare

Of any connotation

To sleep together is one of the most beautiful sentences in the English language 

Sleep is a beautiful thing

A peaceful act

Beauty shines through in sleep

And years fall away

A person’s most beautiful 

Mid-rest

Or first awake

Eyes fluttering

Hair mussed 

Confusion and sleepy-happy smiles

To share that with another...

To call it sleeping together is to call it a beautiful act

The beauty of sharing that beauty

That rawness

That innocence

With someone for the first

Or tenth

Or five hundredth time

To sleep is a painfully human act

To share that with another

Beautifully

Painfully

Wonderfully

Human
