At Home in Her (poem)

I found myself at home in her,
in her tiny room but big bed,
lying next to her as she dozed off,
sipping on fresh mint leaf tea.

I found myself at home in her,
in her sleepy smiles, her “I'm awake”s,
as I cleared the bed to sleep,
tucked her in and went to sleep in the next room.

I found myself at home in her,
in her absolute adoration of sleep
that kept her alarm going off regularly,
in her sleepy resignation to morning.

I found myself at home again,
and I can't thank her enough for that.
