Awakening

The first rays of sunlight
begin to shine
through half open blinds
Landing softly upon our bed
and erasing the chill of night

I feel you stir beside me
as you drift upwards
through the fog of sleep
Smiling
My hand glides quietly
across warm sheets
Searching for you
Seeking your warmth
and comfort of your being

As the dark of night fades
my fingers touch warm skin
Caressing graceful curves
and gently coming to rest
upon your hip

Without really knowing
you slide backwards
pressing against me
My arms encircle you
holding you tight
as the last shadows of night
dissolve in morning's glow

Thank you all! I cannot think of a better way to start each day than by holding the one you love.

Beautiful work.  It makes me dream even more of the day the man I love and I can be together sharing moments like the one you describe.  Thankyou for bringing a smile to my face.

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
