“I woke And crept Like a cat On silent feet About my own house- To look At you While you were sleeping, Your hair Sprayed on the pillow, Your eyes Closed, Your body Safe and solitary, And my doors Shut for your safety And your comfort. I did this Thinking I was intruding Yet wanting to see The most beautiful thing That has ever been in my house.” — Mary Oliver
I woke
And crept
Like a cat
On silent feet
About my own house-
To look
At you
While you were sleeping,
Your hair
Sprayed on the pillow,
Your eyes
Closed,
Your body
Safe and solitary,
And my doors
Shut for your safety
And your comfort.
I did this
Thinking I was intruding
Yet wanting to see
The most beautiful thing
That has ever been in my house.
