Still Life

It's late.  
But about an hour ago, 
Elliott wandered out here and without saying a word or opening his eyes 
just curled up on the couch and fell back asleep.    

I was about to put him back to bed, 
but of course I just had to sit and stare at him for a minute 
and study his every line, hair, and freckle first. 

And I couldn't decide if I was catching a glimpse of him as a teenager... 
 ...or if he looked exactly the same
 ...as he did as a baby.  

I never dreamed I could love someone so much.
