On this day at dawn i rise
The clouds painted
In shades of pink and blue
My lips turn up at their corners
For i can’t help but smile
At a sky like this

The birds greet me with a song
Their morning chatter dances in my eardrums
Like they’re calling out for me
To join their choir

The sun starts to peek over the horizon and it Seems for one moment
In the chaos of this life
Everything is still

I reach for my lover’s hand
And I know he won’t be there
To close his fingers in between my own
But I gently shut my eyes
And imagine
He is here to share with me
A peek behind the pearly gates
This little slice of heaven
