The Sun Settles

As my sun settles
Into sand and sea
I need your armful
Warmth about me.

In an empty room
The dust settles
Your presence there
In rose petals.

An open window
Rustles of leaves
The soft sureness
Your words weave.

As my sun settles
Into sea and sand
I feel your softness
Beneath my hand.

Wherever I go
You'll still be there
With that scent
Of lavender in your hair.
