enwombed

Encompassed,

engrossed,

enwombed

in another time,

the wonderment

of thoughts shared -

expressed

yet unspoken.

The caring carefulness

of tenderness

in the protection

of hearts

and embrace

of quiet moments.

Those were the days,

protected

in a monogamy care,

we had no other hearts

to guard,

no other sadnesses

but our own.

We entwine still,

in timely moments,

and pray with our bodies

unspoken words 

for the wounded.
