fragile thoughts soon forgotten

midnight bike ride

why are you so happy? my mouth questioned, my feet pedalling swirling in time with the pavement. moonlight dripped around us, cars snored past us and we drifted along towards home.
why shouldn't i be? his eyes danced. my migraine's gone, we just played a game with good friends, and i'm on a bike ride with my wife.
hands stuck vertical, feet fondling the pedals he stood and reached for the stars as the bike steered him home.
i laughed. inwardly. so as not to wake anyone.
my husband -- my humble muse.

for any confused readers out there (on account of trent's comment) he thought it was early afternoon because he'd been 'out of it' the whole day with a migraine :) (thanks babe :))

Beautiful Em, can almost imagine being right there with you, in the dark, content and at peace with the world and each other. You have such away with words, I love it.
