The last sound I want to hear before I fall asleep
Is AarBear’s low growl snore
the way his dozing face looks like
A 30 year-old toddler
I expect him to be cozying a baby kitten
Or a kangaroo
Or maybe a bear cub
I’ve even checked before
And then he sleepy chuckled
maybe to something happening in the West Wing episode he’s nodding off to
Small smile slightly stretching his lips
I realized he love murmurs in appreciation
to, well, the universe
Loves being alive with all these beings
Lives to appreciate, laugh, comfort, and build
Platforms to hold us up, in whatever way will make it easiest for us to be us,
will reflect our light in dazzling rainbows of dancing shining symphonies
This is so effortless for him
He does it in his sleep
