Morning

Crisp, clear air
nips at my nose
as I stand
in the velvet darkness
waiting for the
new day
to bloom.

Arms outstretched
reaching for the
stars
that wink and dance
in the midnight sky
calling to me
come and play…

Expectant silence
envelopes me
as the world
waits,
cats yawn
lazily,
carefree in the darkness
contentment
etched in their
every movement…

Perched on the
breaking of a new
dawn
I reach
higher
to welcome
the sun
in all her glory
as she
peeks
across the mountains
embracing me
warming me
with her touch…

The stars
fade
into the morning
as I greet the
day
grateful
for every moment
given as a gift
like the soft
whisper of a
kiss…
