I Gaze Towards An Eastern Place

~

Morning light now comes to glow
on weary smiles and waking eyes
As ribbons of a crimson flow
paint dawn upon these early skies

I gaze towards an eastern place,
so far and yet so near to me
In hopes of dreams I long to trace,
such beauty for my eyes to see

And as the heavens cast their shine,
a canvas tinted sapphire blue
This wondrous day again is mine
as I awake to thoughts of you

I don't think she is a neighbor, at least not that I know of but I am sure she would be a wonderful neighbor if she were. : ) I appreciate you my friend.
