Reflections and Shadows

Dawn's First Ray

The dawn of my waking rises with you,

in thoughts which flutter and sway.

Knowing you're there returns notes to melodies,

and restores my smiling joy anew every day. 

.

When you're away I miss you like the sky,

misses the stars on a cloudy night.

When you're near I feel so alive,

and can see all colors vividly and bright.

.

Amazing, wonderful, incredible, magnificent,

are but a few of the adorning gems on your crown.

Within the depths of your sterling affections,

I could so easily, happily, and forever drown.

.

In your eyes I find endless horizons set,

against lustrous skies of mesmerizing blue.

Cascading falls of draping bronze tendrils,

crash down around beauty so utterly true.

.

Moments with you chase time away all too fast,

leaving me bound at slumber's pulling dark seam.

Because too much could never be enough,

my last breath prays for you to enter my dream.
