~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Twisted sheets and crushed pillows
No longer comfortable to lie here
With foggy leftover dreams
As the sun tries to climb out of bed so do I

Short nightie with butterflies and blue lace
A perfect foil for disheveled hair
Searching for slippers chased under the bed
An old gray sweater takes off the chill

Hum of crickets and an occasional chirp
Attempt to tell me that life goes on
Beyond the dark bedroom where I hide
Wishing someone would bring me a cup of coffee

But you won’t because you’re still snoring softly
Wrapped up in the warm blankets
Content to sleep late and ignore the early bird
I amuse myself writing words to the morning’s song
