The Kiss


Darkness begins to fade at the dawning of the day,
The first rays of sunlight begin to kiss the horizon
Hues of red and pink dance up from the earth as if on display.
In the distance birds begin to provide the music for this dance of daybreak.
The fog that was resting on the waters begins it journey to join the assemblage in the sky.
It is the beginning of the next day of my life,
Our lips part as we smile into each other’s eyes.

New Perspective

The sound of your voice resonates in my heart
The radiance of your smile shines through my deepest depression
The glimmer in your eyes lights the darkest crevices of my soul
And the feel of your embrace warms me in my coldest moments
How am I to ever look at the world as I have before?
