Bliss - a short poem

Read it to me

Bliss

Morning whispers

in soft breezes

mind slowly

becoming aware.

Shaking off the cobwebs

of sleep

and dreams.

Brighter now

as life sets in

and I am

Awake!

My arm reaches

outward . . .

What comfort

in that moment

to find you

there

peacefully

sleeping

beside me.
