Morning light just beginning
Red dawn, early morning
Dreams linger in the mind
In deep recess dreams abide
Reaching slowly, without thought
Hands seek what the mind has wrought
Turning slowly, seeking, feeling
Eyelids lifting, gradual awakening
Mind and body now are tuned
Yearning, wanting, senses heightened
Morning air, cool and sweet
Skin feels coolness of the sheet
Snuggled under covers warm
Dreams give way to early morn
Wanting hugs, wanting to touch
Needing these things oh so much
Rising with the sun
To face the days' tribulation
Alone I wake
While senses quake
