Poem of the Day for 02/17/26 Always By Your Side by Michael Defries In the night, I lay by her Just so I can listen to her breathe She knows I’m there, it comforts her Sometimes she smiles, she looks content I imagine she is in good, when she sleeps Her serenity translates to safety and comfort Whole midnight entire conversations As she sleeps I watch her I fall to her with my arms around I enter my samadhi. 10/04/2009 Visit Michael Defries's Library Always By Your Side Copyright © 2026
