Just around the edges 

the day is announcing its arrival 

Slivers of light

a combination of sun and moon 

sneak into our bedroom 

 

He sleeps with a smooth face

Calming my morning worries 

and anxieties about what's to come 

Constancy is his best quality 

the perfect compliment to my irregularity 

 

The yellow flowers he brought me

stand tall on their green legs 

and brag to this empty room 

about how their very presence made me smile

and lit up the night

 

We spend our days apart

Each rowing through the tides

of "daily life"

Until we wash up on the shores 

of this tiny box we call home

 

Like the sun and the moon 

who blend their gold and silver lights 

into one dazzling shade of dawn 

Together we shine

and bring forth new days
