  Another Portal
  
  
  
  This is where the sleeping happens and sometimes the not sleeping and this is where we hold our children during the night and this is where he keeps his papers and all that he writes and this is where I sometimes go for quiet, when I want to write things down.
  
  
  This is where i feel most vulnerable. When night falls and I fear that they need me more than I can give fully and I worry about how fast life is passing, this is where I lay and hope that everything will turn out for the best while knowing that life does not always work that way.

  This is also where we wake up with the sun and begin the day by laughing or talking about bees and this is where I paint when I feel like painting and this is where I keep the blanket she crocheted for me when I was so very small and this is where he and I look across the bed at one another and whisper about love as they are sleeping and this is between us.

  when I climb these stairs, I am my truest self.
