Before the dawning, before the light
I wake to the emptiness of too large of a bed;
It is still dark with the wind howling
Causing the trash cans to roll in the night
With a rumble and crashing as if thunder
Of a spring storm prowling,
But not a teary raindrop is shed,
Just a gusting, just the wind waking.
The clock tells the time it’s too early to rise,
So I lay thinking of her once more,
As if wishing could make her return,
But at least these thoughts don’t moisten my eyes,
( this time )
Just shake my heart and soul,
I guess I’ll always yearn
For her to warm my bed so cold,
On a restless winter night.

Knowing this....

Don't you just hate those trash cans!!
    ... endless luggage of the worn and weary.

       sounds like the past few nights to me, and not a dream in sight.
                       An excellent write,
                            glad I stopped by.
