As I Wake

You are calming like clear, quiet, water Spreading a long path of shining light I think of you, as my soul floats like a feather With perpetual ease in this very moment It meets your gentle soul, iridescent beauty A sigh of soft breezes, breaths of relief Thoughts of holding your hand with care In a world that spins another direction Every shining word, a touch of soft petals Falling from a rose, the scent, beauty, peace Gratitude is wrapped as a gift, kept in a safe place Cherished, meaningful memories to hold onto Created in the light of day, resting in thoughts at night As I find my way, as I dream, as I flow through time You are there, reliable as the beautiful sunrise Shining on me, as I wake like flowers in the morning dew Heidi Sands 8/29/17
