Smoke in the wind

Sinking into the warmth,
Velvet brown comfort,
Understanding in the depth,
Of eyes that see more than I reveal,
Will you strip me bare?
Lay naked this broken past,
And shattered pieces,
Of a heart that had loved once,
But I do not mind,
For once,
Because of this,
I am comforted,
I found the star I was searching for,
In the quietness of the night,
No fanfare for this,
Not this time,
Only a shared solitude,
And lingering memories,
Of tired pasts,
That drift,
Disperse,
Like smoke in the wind.
