Last Night, This Morning
2025-10-19 11:00 UTC by Corey

Last night, I spent the evening with Gabriel. After some stories, painting, dinner, and conversation, I held him in my arms until he was fast asleep.

In the morning, after kicking off the blankets he rolled over and said, “Vavie, you snore… a lot.”

A child’s universe is vast, led by senses —
shaping air into worlds of wonder.

A chair isn’t a chair;
it’s a ship, a mountain, a fortress.

where even caterpillars stand and point the way.

Where you are a baby cub under the chair,
