Shift

The sun just past the sleepy horizon.

Dots blanketing the sky fade with the night.

Soft, tired eyes waking with the day’s dawn

As drowsy mountains crave morning’s light.

The quiet, meditative murmur of his steady breathing,

Hazy dreaming.

Half the world lay in still slumber.

Even while you rest, I see your mind wander.

Rays illuminate the room, not yet ours,

Shapes and shadows inching across beige walls.

Rub the night away from your eyes;

You are even more divine than the sunrise.
