The day appears
Like a sunny
Side up egg
Centered yellow surrounded
By clouds of
White staring down
And hungry I
Wonder how fulfilling
This day might
Be sides of
Early toasted trees
And homes steaming
From their chimneys
It’s is breakfast
Dawn here now
In a diner
Called Charlotte NC
I will miss
You the minute
No wait the
Second you’re gone
Is that what
The tree feels
At the end
Of fall or
The dog feels
As the school
Bus pulls away
How dark is
Dark when all
That remains is
But your memory
What do I
Do now with
Moonless nights absent
Of your glow
Close my eyes
I must and
Simply remember you
There is but
Two responsibilities that
We have to
Do that is
Be love and
Be you with
Those two simple
Things all else
Is possible and
Will come to
You in abundance
It is funny
This idea I
Have that my
Heart is one
Dimensional when it
Is in fact
Two just when
I thought that
There was but
One all bruising
Some one love
When from behind
Another sneaks up
And unbelievably finds
That one spot
That is unblemished
And touches me
Softly right there
And there above
The tree line
Hangs shadowed streaks
Of angels wings
Fluffy and plump
Remnants of last
Nights heavenly play
Uplit by Saul’s
Slow waking below
The sky shimmers
Like the insides
Of sea shells
Pink and blue
While the shade
Of night rolls
Up far west
Lovers wake with
Kisses and hugs
And morning coffee
Starting this day
