My head rests on the pillow
Watching you sleep
A study in curves
Half moon eyes
Delicate arch of eyebrows
Plumpness of cheeks

Dreams wander across the
Mountains and valleys of your face
Eyes flickering
Eyelashes undulating like fuzzy caterpillars
Eyelids crumple, then smooth
Lips purse, smile and purse again

A body so young
A soul so old
What I would give, sweet Sophia
To know what dreams pass there
