Awakening



  I brush my hair with the subtle gold of morning light
   as it awakens gently streaked with the autumn gray,
  you lie there next to me breathing in the frosted air
   left lingering from the open window next to our bed.

  How softly your eyes are closed,
   pressed together with every dream we have ever shared
   and I think to myself how easily they would come true
  if only when you awaken you would learn how to open them
   again, to see this place filled with soil and water
  and pain, where everything doesn't fall as easily as the
  lids of your beautiful brown eyes.....
