to start the day

The quiet of the dawn
unbroken but for the sound
Of your breathing
I am content to listen
watching the first light
Of day
Make its way across the bed
To caress your face

The peace I see in your features
Is reflected on my soul
The weight of your arm
Across my stomach, a welcome warmth
The naked expanse of your back
A sight I never tire of
Your head on my chest
A good way
To start the day
