You and I (SOL Day 23)

You don’t even know how beautiful you are

Your heavy eyelids lift
before the light touches

Your dark crevices
become highlighted with gold

The secrets of the night before
lie plainly on the floor

I hear a soft whisper ignite
and the rustle of movement

I admire you from my place
breathing in deeply

I can smell your freshness,
delicate and sweet

I feel lucky to spend these moments with you,
Dear Morning.

  1. I love how this poem is beautiful on the first read, and becomes even richer on the second read. I loved thinking about the lines differently, having read the end.

    Beautifully written poem! This was my favorite part: I hear a soft whisper ignite
    and the rustle of movement
    The word ignite – really got my attention.
