Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Before Sunrise

In the stillness of morning
I can truly cherish
Each sacred moment
As I am all too well aware
That it won’t last much longer

The phone will ring
Everyone will soon rise
The musts and wants awaken
Tugging for attention at my skirt

Come midday I’ll crave
Just one tiny second to myself
A place where I can sneak away

But right this minute
Let me bask in this instant of perfection
While it’s in my hand

And hold this breath of silence
That sways in the morning air as
The sun rises in all its glorious splendor
