unexpected gifts

still. dark. quiet.

hush....don't hear
I am coming for you

lights turn on, the room brightens.

gentle, whisper-calm, card laid down.
gift prepared, like a glimmering crown.

she sits up.

grin breaks into a smile,
sparkling eyes dripping with mischief and love

AND THEN

unexpected card, words, gift
tumbles out onto a
delighted-sleepy-eyed
bride.

ahhhh...
sigh.

joy-defined, this gift,
remembered, cherished,
evidence of a love
for all time.
