Listening To Winter Breathe


Come,
share the morning with me,
forget the things
that need to be,
here,
sit up in bed,
the covers tucked round your hips,
I'll open the window,
we'll listen to winter's breath,
the bird's morning chorus,
and await the sun's first beam;
sip your coffee,
smell the aroma,
listen,
the squirrels
have begun to chirp.

I love this time of year,
I love the feel
of you next to me,
sharing the start of day,
the way we sit here silently,
composed within ourselves,
together,
one in our joining,
one with nature,
as it used to be,
separate from reality.

Share this morning with me,
my love,
fleeting as it may be,
our tiny bit of paradise,
communing spiritually,
just you and me,
sipping coffee,
listening to winter
breathe.

*sigh* oh yes, what a wonderful way to start the morning. *sigh* this vision engulfed me completely. It was serene. Thank you so very much for sharing it with me. Much love to you from me.
