Hazy purity of morning
Beautiful uncertainty
Of the unblossomed bud of day
Walking down familiar halls
Searching for the face I love;
The clean scent of sanctuary
On freshly showered skin
I smile worth a hundred words
And keep my lips in silence.
Your hand in mine,
Our interlocked arms,
Together, you and I.
And as we go our separate ways
Our days unfolding the innocence
of optimistic morning sun,
we join again
in weary afternoon
The smell of your hair,
The hollow of your shoulder,
The light of my waning day.
And as evening ages, side by side
we sleep in nighttime’s shadows
before the sun awakens the sky
as we rise to the clear of morning.

Hazy purity of morning
Beautiful uncertainty
Of the unblossomed bud of day
Walking down familiar halls
Searching for the face I love;
The clean scent of sanctuary
On freshly showered skin
I smile worth a hundred words
And keep my lips in silence.
Your hand in mine,
Our interlocked arms,
Together, you and I.
And as we go our separate ways
Our days unfolding the innocence
of optimistic morning sun,
we join again
in weary afternoon
The smell of your hair,
The hollow of your shoulder,
The light of my waning day.
And as evening ages, side by side
we sleep in nighttime’s shadows
before the sun awakens the sky
as we rise to the clear of morning.
