In Anticipation Of You

Peering around the edges of the yellow-orange sky

dancing under cover of the morning mist

gently you tickle my cheek

whisper good morning my love

onto my once shut slumbered eyes

greet me with your perfect smile

leave me breathless in wake of your beauty

and remind me of why

why my mornings are brighter

why it's great to be alive

The hummingbird flutters out in the meadow

sucking nectar from the most beautiful wildflower

and my thoughts turn to you

and to us

our last night kiss

how you gave to me your heart

butterflies flutter inside of me

and I know

Be it slow or fast

racing to your arms

or just waiting

my heart beats

in anticipation

of you
