· this time
this time shared with You
before the world opens her eyes
when the pre-dawn light is still
and my soul is swimming in the magic
that lingers as the earth sigh
sits first sigh and slowly opens her eyes
bringing warmth and beauty
as she chases away the night
the silence and mystery of the dark
lifting.
and the cascade of colors
golds and pinks and blues
shimmering through
the hovering mist
and i feel your kiss
upon my cheek
as the morning light
greets me
here
where i sit with
You in the morning mist
welcoming the new day
