Morning Ritual
_____________________________________
After waking up
Before you head for coffee
While I still slumber
You walk around the bed and
Touch my foot, my heart is thrilled
*
As I tip toe by
Letting the darkness stay dark
I gather my clothes
Letting my love sleep her sleep
Until the spoon makes her wake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My alarm goes off
Gather my clothes then head down
My shuffle is slow
The clang of the spoon wakes her
With her I start the new day
*
Eyes closed but aware
You are starting your long day
Before it begins
You lovingly touch my foot
Then creak down to make coffee
