A Sigh

Is it the breath of dawn that wakes my eye
And hides translucent dreams in curtain’s fold?
What is the meaning of a morning sigh
Too soft to hear, too gentle to behold?

Was it a balmy breeze that touched my skin
Or was this warmth that brushed across my breast
A slight illusion lingering within
A soft goodbye awaiting in its nest

Could it have been a whispering of love
A moment of contentment left unclaimed
Or are your feelings hovering above
A wordless wisp, a promise to unchain

In this, the moment of awakening
I chose to think it was a breath of spring

Liz--

Love your sonnet because spring is my favorite season with all the earth awakening to new life.  You inspire the rest of us with your superb sonnets.
