aubade

 

 

he is the first break of dawn

layered sun and sky

inching through the blinds

he glows nearer

warmth enveloping me

the sun and his energy

rousing as the rise is red

he is light

bursting through

the long navy night

peeking with purpose

over the earth’s edge

making certain that i am awake

for the layers

sun and sky

brighter and bright

any dark diems only less light

spanning the spectrum—

of shades drawn back

rosy rays spanning the sky

radiating like his smile

rising still

hovering high—higher

over the horizon

unbothered are the earth and i

getting to bask in his brightness
