You pleasure me watching
I watched you sleeping for a while
lying in a huge soft heap of white
protected by your dark green walls
you gently breathing.

And you were all there was in the world.

I watched you gardening for a while
with the splashing sound of your pond
making of you a silent movie
about dandelions and tulips.

And you were all there was in the world.

I watched you working for a while
with intensity and efficiency
the sound of your music filling the room
a silent clock ticking.

And you were all there was in the world.

I watched you reading for a while
with the scent of your candle in the air
your black and white gallery
leading my eye to you.

And you were all there was in the world.
