When I wake up
in the early morning
the first thing I notice
is your arm around me
sleepily I enjoy
the warmth of your body
I open my eyes
to see your silhouette
in the dark
close to me…
a reality this time
no dream… but true
so wonderfully true…
slowly
I kiss you awake
treasuring the thought
that the gift of today
is waiting for us…

This write gives me a feeling of being on top of the world. A feeling I have not remembered since my last guru. Thank you.
