you wake
in the morning
in a bed
of your own making
surrounded
by the life you lived
the day before
the chill
of winter
embracing you
and
forming
the goosebumps
draped
across your lovely skin
reluctantly
you climb
out from beneath
the covers
and
comfort
that kept you
warm throughout
the night
your now exposed
limbs
carrying you
out of the room
and
into the day
that awaits you
the path
and
destination
you know
only to well
your experience
in
preparing
your day
speaks
volumes
of who you are
in the silence
this daily ritual
of yours
bringing life
into your home
and
revealing
what matters
most
to you
carefully
and
thoughtfully
you’ve
crafted
your existence
like the coffee
that now sits
beside
my slumbering head
such a pleasure to awaken to you
to be gifted with your smile
your beautiful face and warm embrace blanketing my skin
your softly whispered I love yous
your sweetly flavored kiss
greeting my lips to the magic
and beauty that now fills my life
each and every morning
