3 Butterflies

Thought of last evening

as you quietly read your book

And I sat and sketched.

It felt like time standing still

Filled with the essence

Of Erik Satie’s Trois Gymnopedies

The beauty of the piano’s notes

Softly sounding, slowly, so gently

But all in silence

A beautiful quiet

With you.

No words spoken

Hours quietly passing

With the comfort

Of us being together

Close

So peaceful

An unspoken knowing

Feeling

Love

Trust

Relaxed.

Love the beauty of the piano’s notes

As my heart listens.

To the quiet

Surrounded by your presence.

So peaceful

Knowing

Feeling

In the quiet

Your presence

Your love.
