a love song (sometime in 1996)

As dawn breaks over my window
I stir lightly
The cool of the morning nudges me
I go in deeper into my bed
The birds of the day sing a song
I slowly feel the day awakening

I reach for you by my side
You are not there
With the understanding
Of an older woman
I breathe a prayer for you and me
As I awake from my reverie
