In the sweet April air

The afternoon sun kisses our rosy cheeks

The playful breeze tickles my face

Carrying notes of nostalgia through the air

Curled in your arms

My head on your chest

I hear the lullaby of your beating heart

The constant rhythm of your breathing

You trace a mural on my arm

Undefined swirls and invisible patterns

As the cheerful reggae you like floats up to the lavender stained sky

For a precious moment

Wrapped in the blanket of your love

I am a small child once more

And I drift to sleep
