There is great comfort in
waking early
beginning the day in a house still
in slumber
sitting with coffee and a book
by the window
where outside the day is just barely
breaking
last night’s beautiful worm moon
bright against a still dark
sky
listen to the sounds of someone you love
breathing nearby
and tiny peeps and trills of
the early
birds
as they rise
later the subtle creaks of feet upstairs
touching down
as others begin
to wake
ready themselves for their workdays ahead
while you are content
to just
sit
small dog in your lap
one
at your feet
soft contented snores
when he comes to join me
the one I love
the sun begins to rise
and
it’s hard to imagine a more
perfect
place
to be ♥
