Poetry: Reflections on success, struggle, and happiness

by Beth Atchison

Created on: December 10, 2008

that swept the sky

lying there with you

pressed against my side

muted sounds that edged through silence

the soft rhythm of your breathing

oh, that I could capture this instant

and rest till the curl of a pale crescent moon

raises overhead

I would lay there

and claim this moment

that it shall always

be enough
