Golden Morning

~

across the meadow
last night’s dew clings
fondly to the old-growth

wrapped in crystalline embrace
it adorns the stately cedars
as if diamonds
that sparkle in the morning sun
a splendor befitting their beauty

this Spring day begins bright and crisp

bird songs lilt
carried on a light breeze

I see you afar
approaching on the path
backlit by sunrise
your hair golden in dawn’s glow

lover beholding beloved

I sit
warmed in daybreak’s window
with tea and fascination

I watch you
as you stop to rest

in this moment
my love spills over
floods ’round me
until I am consumed

your lips sculpt a smile
I’m swept away on passion’s tide
on this golden morning
