Outside the trees bend west,
and the sky hangs cloudless & naked.
The moment I pull back the curtain,
I feel the warmth of the sun.
The breeze smells of brown sugar & spices.
& the applauding leaves sound like an invitation,
but in my mind,
I see him beside me as I glance over,
he sleeps.
Quiet & celestial,
the cadence of his breathing,
keep this world spinning and my heart promptly tell this beautiful day,
"no thank you"
as I lay back with thoughts of you fresh on my mind,
until I'm with you again.
