Shades of Dawn

Shades of Dawn

written by: Vickie J. Litten

 

Sunday morning I forgot
and reached for you,
but found only cool sheets
and empty pillow.
The dream was so
deliciously real, awakening
so hard and cruel.
I curled tighter and
burrowed deeper into the cave
under the blanket,
holding on tight
to the pillow
and the warmth
quickly slipping
from my
awakening senses.
A shaft of light
fell across the bed
and I was awake,
to embrace the morning,
this glorious morning
that slowly brings me
one more day
closer to you.
