On the Edge of Day

As morningtide folded in the day
there was something about it
that lured me in its depths

the moon still visible
was satiated 
as my mind is
on thoughts of you

I could feel you
fingering every inch of me
in the rise and fall
of warm breaths
as they stumbled
through the November air

the dark clouds
traced the edges of the moon
like the shadows of life
that linger around us

the sun
though not visible
flickered white
beneath the clouds
a ray of hope
for resplendent days
like that of our yesterdays

the mist of morn
tumbled from skies
momentarily
as did tears
from lonely eyes
within the depths of blue
that now surrounded me
as day unfolded

I enjoy getting lost in the poem, carefree, as a much desired Sunday drive. Very beautiful.

A soft battle of hope, loneliness, & want within your heartbeats. This was eloquent & very touching.
