Somewhere

Somewhere miles away
Is a freshly made bed
In a newly cleaned room
On the second floor
Of a remodeled inn.

It waits there silently
Like a new bride,
Pondering the night ahead.
The sheets are cool and crisp,
The drapes half closed.
In the bathroom,
Towels draped carefully
New soap on the counter,
The toilet bowl clean and fresh.

The ice machine clinks and tinkles,
The soda machine hums.
The hallway is softly illuminated,
The carpet newly vacumned.
Everything is ready and waiting
For the next guest.

The room has no idea
That it is within her walls
That our hearts will leap
And our souls will fly.
