As Morning Paints

As Morning Paints



Falling out of starlight

I stretched within my bed

With sleepy eyes and dreamy smiles

And hair mussed on my head

Sunlight warmed my window

Painting light upon my skin

Gentle ray- dreams of shining gold

Soothed shadows deep within

My lashes fluttered one last time

And kissed my cheek goodbye

I thought of how you looked last night

And softly breathed a sigh

'Twas time to rise from slumbers' arms

And greet my busy day

As morning's lazy happiness

Began to fade away

Twisting tendrils of cotton sheets

Caressed my naked skin

As I turned to see your smile I knew

My day could wait to begin.
