Light of the Morning

Sweet breath of the
	morning,
whisper across my
	silken cheek
and raise me from my
	restless slumber.

Silent rays of golden
	light
tease my still closed
	eyes.
Steal across your
	chosen path
but leave your warmth
	for my own comfort.

The rosy dawn may tempt
	my trembling hand
to sweep the haze
	from my solemn
		gaze.

But still,
	the echo of a song
will sound in my
	hollow heart
until once more
	love bathes me
in its everlasting
	glow.
