It is hard to believe we are in the same room

I move next to him

sliding my arm around his back,

resting my chin on his shoulder

with much affection.

He relaxes against the familiarity

of me.

We look through the picture window

onto a scene of rolling hills in sunset.

I look deep and disconnect,

submerge into the purple beauty of evening

Feeling his gaze I surface smiling to him

He says:

This would make a beautiful golf course.
