Reluctant Morning

Midnight's candle fades
As morning dawns
With an eye of cold gray.
My own eyes
Are still awash
In the dreams of the night
My ears
Are still full
Of the echoing whispers of sleep
I want to cling
To the warm shadows
And to my soft pillow
It is a reluctant morning

Congratulations on your poem being featured. I like the flow of the words and the message. The theme is consistent with the title, and it flows throughout the poem quite well. I know the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed when the soft pillow feels good. Great job! ~Joseph
