Marmalade Skies

~Marmalade skies~ one spoon at a time they feed the morning horizon Soft offerings of color picked ripe from the vine ~Cantaloupe dreams~ a small slice of moon the dawn’s crescent smiles on me with a Cheshire grin cocked slightly to the side ~Plum pudding blankets~ suspended above life, moving slowly but coming of the day as alarms break the solitude nestled in down feather pillows ~Raspberry whispers~ singing the scent of the fresh sunrise dew on wishes coated in sparkling splendor and footprints beyond the gate ~Nectarine blessings~ sweet on my lips beneath an orchard arbor I hold you close to my morning and taste the bounty of your love Good morning Soupers
