You are here

The light wakes me, the purr of a cat by my side

my head spins in thoughts of the day before, the day to come

I hear your breathing beside me, the smell of your sweet skin

I can’t believe that you are here

The warmth of the coffee brewing floats up the stairs

Letting the cats in the out door I think of all that you have said

Work sifting in, dawn breaking

calls, emails, keys clicking

I can’t believe that I am here

you come down the stairs, sleep in your eyes

a smile that warms me

and a greeting of love

I can’t believe that you are here

you gather your thoughts, my head spinning for some time now

I come to you in the morning light of the porch

you smile, like you have missed me so long

and you ask me if I want to hear a poem

I can’t believe that we are here

you read to me in your voice that calms me

thoughts and words floating from your mouth

the sweetest mouth I have ever known

and you sooth me with words of flowers, love, lines

Heart of calm

I can’t believe that you are really here
