Sheet Lightning

Sheet lightning flashing overhead,
You resting in Our bed;
what a peaceful way to start the day
after all that We have bled.

I woke early to fill with caffeine;
I woke early to regain My sheen.
After all that we are going through,
We, I believe, deserve a quiet few …

Of what do You dream
whilst You catch Your ‘Zs?’
Of what solutions do You seize?
I, for One, still calculate how to grasp by its horns
this wild ‘bull’ of which everyone warns,
while this rain, which falls without brief reprieve,
cautions Me to stay and to never leave.

I’ve much to do, so much to solve;
afraid that You, I must involve.
So wake to Me in a given few!
Let’s greet this day in its solemn dew,
make love so perfect, and change its hue!
I, for One,
need
You.
