Just around the edges
the day is announcing its arrival
Slivers of light
a combination of sun and moon
sneak into our bedroom
He sleeps with a smooth face
Calming my morning worries
and anxieties about what's to come
Constancy is his best quality
the perfect compliment to my irregularity
The yellow flowers he brought me
stand tall on their green legs
and brag to this empty room
about how their very presence made me smile
and lit up the night
We spend our days apart
Each rowing through the tides
of "daily life"
Until we wash up on the shores
of this tiny box we call home
Like the sun and the moon
who blend their gold and silver lights
into one dazzling shade of dawn
Together we shine
and bring forth new days
