My waking Sophia –

In this dim light of morning, I lay here watching you slowly awaken to the new day. Arms and legs unfolding from sleep like the leaves of the cypress greeting the sunlight to dry away the dew.

The fire of the morning sun reflects the fire of your soul as your eye lids slowly rise, as slowly as the sun, but just as surely. Finally, your smile appears when you realize you have wakened to another day of being loved – loved as the beloved of my life.

Now, take my hand as we begin the dance of another day – another, where our loves shine as brightly as the summer sun.
