The Day Begins
As the dusk journeys to the dawn
a crisp breeze awakens the senses
light fingers through the heavens
and shadows slither away.
The day begins as if promised
to break night and interrupt dreams
time to awake and accomplish
routines and task of living
Up with a yawn and stretch
and you look upon the one sleeping
beside you. At peace with a face
of an angel. Only if it appear when awaken.
Walk barefoot into the kitchen
brew coffee and fry bacon
if that doesn't wake the dead
throw dirt on them, smells of first morning.
You look back into the bedroom
and see the sleepy head turn
thinking how can I pick em
out on the porch sipping coffee
Watching the sun rise in full brilliance
who appears at the doorway
can I have a sip?
Sitting beside you feeling happiness
The day begins as the world turns
and your life with love
forget worries, forget problems
it feels right, another good day.
