Impressions of the Sunrise

I went to visit Alex
His mound covered by leaves 
and gold light. 
I felt close enough to hold him 
And kiss his cheek goodnight. 
In error I pardon myself, 
Asking for a visit or a dream
I plead his tiny hand against 
mine 
Will help to seal the seem. 
I balance my tears long enough 
To lift my feet and run. 
But there I am sterile 
Waiting for my will to come. 
I believe my tears are heaven 
bound 
As I search the wayward skies 
Solitude so great I plead for 
just 
An impression of the sunrise.
