There is a warm presence tonight

as I turn wrapped in folds of my bed.

A sweet comfort, rarely felt.

Could have sworn it was real.

Then I wake more

and realize... a dream?

Or... are my senses coming back

of which I thought were long gone

Could it be, it can happen again

after all time passed?

But wait.. do I chance it again

a hurt,

or another's, unknowingly?

Life, so frail...

Is it fair? Is it right?

Always questioning,

instead of embracing...

Is this His plan, dare are I question.

The Gift so rare...

this warm presence in the night.
