dark of leftover night
through life window
see

in blue  
I sit at kitchen table  
coffee lips not quite awake

you
pad about  
in morning feet  
tending little chores

your smile tips itself
my way
tired
content
my eyes reach for it
slowly sipping
memory of night before

yielding feel
of knowing each other
like old books
my blue robe
like the quiet waiting

your hand
on my shoulder
my mind leaning on your hip bone
our eyes search table
knowing
where the first yellow rays will lay themselves

where they have always laid themselves

silent hearts
bound and tied
watching the day
be born

though I misread the title earlier (read it as 'widow' instead of 'window') and had a very difficult time reconciling this beautiful write with my mistaken title, came back to it with glasses on and appreciate it so much more...lovely...(and the title now makes sense)

So very...very...delicate.
Oh how I love this series Lady Kate.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Lady Kate

You make it real, not with words searched for in some dark place, but right there coloring your pretty grace!
