a soft subdued sleep 

                       he understood it was happening even as he slept  

he could sense itfeel it asif he slaked his thirst with cool water 

                                                                   it unfolded like the calm and exhaustion after torrid sex and ejaculation  his lovers tender warmth still beside him  her inchoate whispered nonsense as they drift off to sleep 

he was familiar with it accompanied by rain 

                                             most familiar when he slept with his girlfriend  holding her breast or his hand between her legs

 

his subdued sleep was sensuous 

                                   like that extra blanket his mother laid on him as a babe and child when she thought his cheek felt cool and it might warm him just a bit

his subdued sleep was concerned was compassionate 

                                                          like the compassion of weather  the gentle humour and whiteshine of a full moon the warm sweep of the suns gaze on his shoulders and back

an ethereal embrace

eternal embrace

                  which he was grateful for whenever it was bestowed  whenever it graced him
