I feel my alarm buzz
At four in the morning as I
Snuggle deeper into the
Feathery plush of my pillow and
The warm embrace of
The love of my life.
I smile, taking in this
Blissful moment, always
Praying that this isn’t a dream.
As I feel myself succumbing
Back into my dreams, my
Love decides it’s time to kiss
Me on the cheek & hug me
Tighter as he whispers,
‘It’s time to get going, love.’
In his words,
He wants me to shut off
My alarm so that he may
Continue to sleep away.
Yet, I still smile, give
A peck on his lips and
Finally, sit up to turn off
My alarm.
As my vision clears,
I look at the view before me.
A half-moon glows ever so gently.
From my bedroom windows, I see
Its light cascade over the calm
Waves of the beach in front
Of my home.
I turn to see my loving half
Sleeping soundly, peacefully.
I reach over by the lamp atop
The desk beside my bed to
Grab my glass of water
To rejuvenate my body, preparing
It for the day ahead.
My journal and pen comes into
View and I gently pick them up.
For the next couple of minutes,
I reflect,
I write,
I let go.
As I close my journal, I
Take one last glance at my
Now snoring love and shake
My head in amusement.
I rise up out of bed and change
Into my workout clothes.
Early morning workouts
Fuel my body with
The strength it deserves.
Soon I’m in
A soothing shower, welcoming
Today’s renewed energy.
The smell of aromatherapy
Saturates the bath as I
Get lost in the delicate love
My hands reward my body.
Feeling content, I step out
Of the warm water and change
Into a pair of my love’s
Pajama bottoms & tee.
I head towards the kitchen
Where I’m able to witness
A trickle of orange piercing
Above the ocean’s horizon
From my glass door windows.
I smile.
As the sun slowly rises,
I prepare my daily dose of
Morning tea.
With my lovely mug in
Hand, I make my way out
To the patio overlooking
The beach and horizon, and
Take a seat.
Just in time.
The streets are humming;
The waves are stirring;
and life is singing.
The sun is halfway awakened
As I take my first sip.
Seconds later, the presence
Of my love joins me with his
Daily dose of morning coffee
In hand.
A sweet kiss on the cheek,
A little shuffle to the side of
Our lounge chair and
I’m snuggling with him
As we watch the sun & moon
Fulfill their destiny.
This is, indeed,
A beautiful dawn.
