This Morning the Sun

This morning the sun
Didn’t peek through clouds with shards
Of light

This morning was muted but bright
Like a blushing giant and
Half smile

This morning my eyes closed again
My arms around her body
So lonely

This morning was filled with burning coal,
trying to get somewhere or
Away from bed

This morning I walked from my bed,
Closed my eyes again
She was there

This morning I half smiled to myself,
Thought about it and
Wondered if it was real
